It was also a delight to meet Samantha Niblett MP in person at last, and to have a very positive conversation with my own MP, Matt Rodda, about how government might work more closely with organisations such as Ada Lovelace Day.

It truly was an honour to hear so many MPs speak in support of women in STEM and of Ada Lovelace Day, and to have my own work recognised in Parliament. My thanks to all the MPs who attended and especially to those who spoke.
