I wrote about Susan Greenfield’s brave decision to take a sexual discrimination case against the Royal Institution in January. I said
“It certainly seems as if there are those within the august Royal Institution who want her gone. Although not voiced openly, I’m sure jealousy is at work somewhere. Susan has built a media profile and become almost a household name, something I doubt the majority of her detractors could do. The fact that she has put their formerly dusty organisation on the map and brought science to the people is neither here nor there for such fuddy-duddies.”
I am pleased to read today that Susan has won a settlement. Congratulations to Susan. Susan has many academic achievements throughout her career, but today for women in similar situations it is her toughness and resilience which shines as an inspiration.
