Green Templeton community contributes to 100 Women of Oxford Medical Sciences
Several women from across the Green Templeton community have spoken about their careers and future goals as part of a campaign highlighting 100 Women of Oxford Medical Sciences.
It’s been 100 years since women were admitted as full members of the University of Oxford, and women now hold vital posts at all levels within the university.
This new campaign celebrates the current staff and students of the Medical Sciences Division, with 100 women taking part in a project to showcase the diversity of roles they now hold. Among those who contributed to the project were the following members of our community:
- Alison Convey, Alumna (BM BCh)
- Stephanie Dakin, Research Fellow
- Leena Elhussein, Student (DPhil Musculoskeletal Sciences)
- Leanne Hodson, Senior Research Fellow
- Safia Khan, Student (Clinical Medicine)
- Manisha Nair, Alumna (DPhil Public Health)
- Kay Shigemori, Student (DPhil Oncology)
- Jackie Walumbe, Student (DPhil Primary Health Care)
Each of the women gave a detailed interview about their work which can be viewed by clicking on their name above and following the link to the Medical Sciences Division website. All 100 women who contributed to the campaign shared blog posts for the website.
The campaign to celebrate 100 Women of Oxford Medical Sciences was launched on Thursday 11 February, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, and will run until Monday 8 March, which is International Women’s Day.

✨ Come behind the scaffolding with us.
We were given rare access to the Radcliffe Observatory restoration project, climbing onto the roof to see the incredible conservation work taking place behind the scenes.
From spectacular views across Oxford to the Observatory`s intricate zodiac carvings, we discovered details that are normally hidden from view.
Join us as we explore one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks!
Earlier this summer, we were delighted to welcome audiences to our inaugural Garden Play, with a series of sold-out performances of Shakespeare`s `As You Like It` set in our beautiful college grounds.
Our gardens became the Forest of Arden as students, staff, alumni and the wider Oxford community came together to enjoy open-air theatre in a truly unique setting. Even better, the production has received fantastic reviews from Oxford`s student press.
A huge thank you to everyone who performed in and supported this wonderful initiative.
These peaceful moments around college were captured by work experience student Izzie.
They celebrate the beauty of the college gardens and the simple joy of taking a closer look!
Thank you Izzie for sharing your perspective with us 🌸

As conservation work continues on the Radcliffe Observatory, we were delighted to climb to the very top of the impressive scaffold and enjoy a unique perspective on this iconic landmark.
Along the way, we uncovered some fascinating details—and a few cheeky surprises—carved into parts of the stonework. ✨
These hidden marks offer a glimpse into the stories, craftsmanship, and personalities that have become part of the building’s rich history. Stay tuned as we continue to share more behind-the-scenes moments from this remarkable conservation project.
