Thread by @psychmag

For #InternationalWomensDay I (editor @jonmsutton ) am going to use a thread to showcase some of the brilliant women in psychology I've interviewed over the past 20 years…

In 2010, @AlisonGopnik talked about 'the supreme infant' thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-23/edit… #InternationalWomensDay

Way back in 2005 @ProfTanya spoke to me about her TV work, disseminating psychology on a mass scale thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-18/edit… #InternationalWomensDay

In 2014, @DorothyMiell fell victim of my penchant for making terrible puns out of incoming Presidents' surnames (or, indeed, anyone's surname) thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-27/edit… #InternationalWomensDay

Interviewing @CSalmivalli about bullying was a big deal, because she was a big influence on my PhD thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-27/edit… #InternationalWomensDay

March 2013 was Nicola Yuill @chatlabuk thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-26/edit… #InternationalWomensDay

I met @nancydoylepsych at a BPS conference and she's been a fantastic advocate for neurodiversity, occupational psychology and The Psychologist thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-25/edit… #InternationalWomensDay

Cordelia Fine in 2010 remains one of our most talked-about interviews thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-23/edit… #InternationalWomensDay

All-round good egg (and my PhD examiner!) @HappeLab thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-27/edit… #InternationalWomensDay

Talking language and thought in 2006 with the brilliant and ever-supportive @asifa_majid thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-29/july… #InternationalWomensDay

‘The families are at the centre of all this’
… I met clinical psychologist @fleurzel in 2015 to hear about her work with Leicestershire Partnership Trust

At @bpspsychobio in 2017 Prof Kavita Vedhara simply blew me away, with the quality of her work and what she's like as a person thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-30/nove… #InternationalWomensDay

Erica Burman wrote 'Deconstructing Developmental Psychology', which had a huge influence on me as a postgrad, so it was an honour to interview her thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-30/octo… #InternationalWomensDay

Essi Viding is just brilliant and so supportive (as are so many UCL women who've had Uta Frith as a mentor) thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-31/may-… #InternationalWomensDay

I think meeting @emmyzen was genuinely the most enjoyable, stimulating day of my 20 years in post as editor, and that hopefully comes across to a certain extent in the interview thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-31/july… #InternationalWomensDay

How good is @DrSFink … and another person we met who has felt like an ally for The Psychologist ever since thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-32/janu… #InternationalWomensDay

Just brilliant, brilliant… @EmmanuellPeters on psychosis thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-32/marc… #InternationalWomensDay

In conversation with @sjblakemore who, in common with most of the women in this thread, is not only a brilliant scientist but is exceptionally good company thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/teenagers-debu… #InternationalWomensDay

In conversation with @lizstokoe - who I can't thank enough for everything she has done for The Psychologist and for me thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/psychologist-p… #InternationalWomensDay

So many other brilliant women scientists in psychology who have also been huge supporters of what we do, but I haven't interviewed… in particular, @cathloveday @Harriet_Gross @utafrith @katedjohnstone @drsallymarlow
I often say that a pub full of them would be the best night…

…Oh and @maddi_pow has been brilliant for bringing on the next generation of writing talent in psychology - see thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-32/marc… and thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-33/janu… #InternationalWomensDay
