Date and time: Wednesday 13 March, 14:00–16:00
Location: Building 58, Room 1067, Highfield Campus

Refreshments will be provided following the talk.
Penny will take a retrospective look over her 25-year career, from her time as an armour researcher to her present role as Chief Executive of the Met Office. She will link her research with world events and the role the government was playing at the time. The journey is both technical and personal, tracking her development from a bench scientist and new graduate through to being a senior leader responsible for thousands of staff.
The Campbell Lecture forms a key part of the WiSET+ visibility project, which aims to showcase the work of female scientists at all career stages both locally and internationally. It is named in honour of Ishbel Campbell (1906-1997), a reader in Chemistry, who was one of the founding academics of our University, a committed teacher and an inspiration for women in science.
