I got a medal for getting the highest marks in my exams at the end of my diploma of tropical medicine and hygiene. That made me feel really proud as there were some very clever people on the course, from all over the world.
I was elected to be a Fellow of the Royal Society last summer. It was a huge honour to become part of such a prestigious institution. Past fellows include Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton. Current fellows include Stephen Hawking. Elections take place every year in which existing fellows vote on nominated scientists.

I recently received a hand-written card from my Director for my media work on HPV – not an award but a reflection of my hopefully decent work.
