Dear Penny,

Just seen your post. It would be great to chat about Muriel, and to see your photos - I'm currently writing up an article about her (to be submitted in the next few weeks), so any extra information you can give me would be fantastic. My contact details can be found here: http://www.gla.ac.uk/researchinstitutes/iii/staff/tansyhammarton/  Please send me an email!

Best wishes,
Tansy

Dear Joan,

I am currently researching Muriel Robertson, who I believe from reading your post was a relative of yours.  I am a Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow and I work on the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, for which Muriel described the life cycle.  We are holding a symposium on 8th Jan next year to consider the contributions of three great scientists from Glasgow: Robert Leiper, William Leishman and Muriel Robertson (see http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/glasgow-encounters-with-tropical-disease-tickets-18603376199), and I have (as a fellow female parasitologist working on T. brucei) been asked to talk about Muriel Robertson.  I am keen not only to showcase her remarkable work (both on T. brucei and the many other organisms she researched), but also to try to bring her alive as a person, and wonder whether you might have any stories or photos you would be willing to share.

Best regards,
Tansy Hammarton
