      Hi @lilsimmo and @ailhep123
      Are we talking academic or personal here?
      Academic – getting the funding to do my PhD is my proudest moment to date, although if I win ‘I’m a Scientist’ that will then be my greatest achievement! 🙂

      Personally, running Bristol 10K last year with my sister and raising over £1000 for Cystic Fibrosis Trust is something I’m really proud of. I have 2 nieces who have the disease, so I always fundraise for that charity. This September I’m running a half marathon (13 miles!) to raise more money, so wish me luck 🙂

      Thanks for the question!

      In science, I’d like to think it was yet to come! But maybe the thing I’m most proud of so far is the one or two times when I’ve convinced someone who didn’t know about it that linguistics was a worthwhile and interesting thing for them to study. It’s happened a couple of times, in introductory classes.
