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.

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.
Congratulations to all of the @gtcball2026 survivors 🪼🫧🪸🧜🌊✨

We had an incredible evening at the Nautilus Ball! @gtcball2026
The Radcliffe Observatory is having a conservation makeover...
Behind the printed wrap is a complex network of poles and platforms, giving specialist teams access to every part of this remarkable building.
The Observatory is now undergoing a new phase of work that combines careful conservation of its historic fabric with major environmental upgrades.
Protecting one of Oxford`s most iconic landmarks for generations to come. 🏛️
Over the past week, we have celebrated the extraordinary Green Templeton community through events, volunteering, competitions, challenges and fundraising for student support. It has been wonderful to see alumni, fellows, supporters, friends, staff and students coming together to show our support for students.
From the Garden Party and the Photography Competition, to the Memory Wall and Biscuit Decorating Competition, the week has been filled with moments that reflect the warmth, inclusivity and spirit of our college.
Thank you to everyone who made a gift, attended an event, volunteered their time or followed along throughout the week. Together, we have raised over £65,000 for student support. These gifts will help students pursue opportunities, navigate financial pressures, participate fully in college life and thrive during their time at Oxford.
