A brilliant role model!

Congratulations, Professor!

So many fantastic women. Congratulations to Professor Catherine Heymans! 😊

I'm sorry but I get that little thrill of someone having a 'when I grow up' job. It's so cool. Someone managed it.

Where's my job working with dinosaurs?

It's so cool. One of my DDs wants to be an astronomer when she grows up (she's nearly 7). I must remember to tell them about this.

Congratulations, Professor Heymans!

That is great news!! Congratulations Prof Catherine Heymans!!!

Amazing news, love it! Many congratulations, Professor.

Congratulations to the Professor and I hope it inspires at least one young woman to follow a scientific career.

@MrsTerryPratchett if you want to work with dinosaurs try the RMT.

Great news, congratulations to Professor Catherine Heymans, a most just recognition!

@MrsTerryPratchett love the idea of a 'when I grow up' job
