nervous about starting my<br />
PhD – nobody in my family<br />
had even been to university!<br />
It was tough <strong>and</strong> there<br />
were many times in which<br />
I wanted to give up, but I<br />
stuck <strong>at</strong> it because I knew<br />
th<strong>at</strong> Anna believed in me.”<br />

department where respecting<br />

perspective, remind myself of<br />
my own strengths, <strong>and</strong> – in the<br />
end – achieve a gre<strong>at</strong> deal!”<br />

Uta puts a lot of time <strong>and</strong><br />
effort into projects like <strong>UCL</strong><br />
<strong>Women</strong>, <strong>and</strong> she deserves to be<br />
recognised for th<strong>at</strong> in addition to<br />
her support for individuals.”
