Jessica Wade

I'm a physics postgraduate student at Imperial College London, the head of the college women in physics group and the postgraduate representative for physics. I teach first year undergraduates and I've supervised both male and female Masters students, none of which I’ve had any emotional entanglements with. I don't spend my days writing my colleagues names all over my lab book or staring at them over the top of my computer screen. I'm the first in the lab every day and definitely clock in most hours, contribute to group discussions and help my friends with their experiments. In the past year I've published peer-reviewed papers with physicists, chemists and material scientists all over the world. At the moment I'm collaborating with both Seoul National University and EWHA woman's university, 15 minutes from where Sir Tim Hunt made his comments about women in labs in Seoul.
