Due to changes in the system relating to honorary appointments at UCL, my existing Honorary Associate Professorship will not be renewed this September. I haven't been getting a lot of email traffic at my ucl.ac.uk address, but this will be going away.

Lesley’s Quotes

“He said, 'I like to see some spirit in my women. I like spunk and the fire in the eye. A woman like that is worth having,' but that was before I kicked him in the groin.”
