Major milestone achieved my friends

[nanila]

This morning, I did an undergraduate viva, in physics, with another lecturer (Professor level), and a fourth-year masters student.

Both assessors are women. Student is a woman. I think this may well be the very first professional assessment experience I have had in my entire working career where everyone involved was a woman AND it *wasn't* some sort of "Women in STEM" event.

And then this afternoon,cha_mel_eon made her first official Artist-in-Residence visit to my department, and I got to show her cool pieces of kit and bits of metal, and we talked about space and art and it was absolutely lovely.

It were a good day. :)

Thank you for your efforts which I know have helped to make it possible.

So the office I have (not that I've seen it in approx. 1 billion years) is a little underoccupied. I've been sharing it with A Woman Wot Does Physics, and another woman has joined the team since we've been exiled to our houses. I'm hoping that we can keep it as an office for those of us with minoritised genders when we go back to being in the office again.

I can really understand the good feeling!

Woo! That sounds like a most excellent day indeed.

Did the student pass the viva?

[nanila]

Yes - with flying colours. :)

Our congratulations to the student, then, for however much a random stranger's congratulations are worth.
