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. :)

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.
