Abstract: Curiosity and impatience have been the two major forces in my career. I have changed research areas several times and also commercialised some of my research output. I never gave much thought to being a “woman in a man’s world” at the beginning of my career but soon became aware that my working environment was being controlled mostly by men so I needed to make sure that I understood the rules. This made life a lot simpler! In my talk I’d like to share some of my experiences in the hope it might make life easier for others (both men and women!).
Professor Glover holds a Personal Chair of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of Aberdeen and has honorary positions at the Rowett and Macaulay Institutes. She is an elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, a member of the Natural Environment Research Council, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology. She has an active research group pursuing a variety of areas from microbial diversity to the development and application of whole cell biosensors (biological sensors) for environmental monitoring and investigating how organisms respond to stress at a cellular level.
Professor Glover has been writing a blog for GetSETWomen with interesting discussions on aspirations, challenges and mentoring. She is a member of GetSET Women and has supported the work of the UKRC and the Scottish Resource Centre for Women in SET in various ways. In 2008 she was one of six Women of Outstanding Achievement in SET. Professor Glover has a strong commitment to making sure scientific knowledge is used to benefit the community and she is keen to try and convey the excitement and relevance of science to non-scientists.
2pm Talk – Nightingale (Bldg 67) Main Lecture Theatre 3pm Tea and refreshments
The Campbell Lecture represents a key part of our visibility project to showcase the high quality of women scientists both internationally and at Southampton at all stages of their careers. It is named in honour of Ishbell Campbell (1906-1997) who was one of the founding academics of the University of Southampton, a reader in Chemistry as well as a committed teacher and inspiration for women in science.
Professor Anne Glover will be giving the next Campbell Lecture on 20th May 2010 and her talk will be entitled "Mountains to Climb". The talk will commence at 2pm in the main Lecture Theatre in Building 67. Tea will be available after the talk from 3pm in adjoining rooms in Building 67.
