 We know that women are underrepresented in so many areas of physics. Fewer still continue with physics in industry like I do. I knew my colleague, Nassia, deserved recognition for her brilliant work, but was never going to put herself forward. And that's why last year I decided to nominate her for the Dennis Gable Medal and Prize, and she won. Women winning awards not only recognises their work, but through representation encourages others to believe that they can succeed also. And I think that's really important. That's why we need to celebrate and highlight the achievements of women who do work in physics, and that's why I'd encourage you to think about talented female physicists in your area and consider nominating them for an IOP award this year.
