      Someone I currently find very inspirational is Sarah-Jane Blakemore who researches the Teenage Brain, shes a great speaker and does really insightful research. Personally someone who has influenced my interest in developmental research was from my time as an undergraduate at York would be Professor Sue Gathercole who looks at cognitive development, working memory and challenges for pupils in schools.

      So many of my colleagues inspire me every day. One of my mentors, Dr Katherine Twomey, is my inspiration: a powerful, successful woman in science who is very intelligent and very kind.
