::Thanks very much @[[User:SweetEdits1|SweetEdits1]] - yes, it was me! If you're the subject of a Wikipedia article, the best way to make changes is to suggest them on [[Talk:Anna Gloyn|the Talk page]]. The Wikipedia community is extremely nervous about people editing their own articles (see [[WP:COISELF]], so I would really encourage you to post on the talk page (I will see it at the very least) and say "please could the article be updated with this". This policy isn't obvious to people new to editing, but its one that is taken very seriously. This is due to the fact that unfortunately there are quite a lot of people (I'm not suggesting its you btw) who try to control the narrative in their Wikiepdia articles - forgetting it a neutral encyclopaedia, not a place for biassed promotion. What I'll do is go and tidy the article up now, and leave a note on the talk page about this discussion, tagging you. Once it's tidy, please do leave your suggestions on the talk page, for example, I'm not a scientist, so there might be improvements to be made in how your research is described.

:::Amazing - thank you so much for educating me and holding my hand through the process. I certainly don't want to do anything that compromises neutrality but I didn't want to presume others "should" maintain/update the page. I get emails almost weekly from people offering to do this for me if I pay them which also didn't seem appropriate. THANK YOU for all you do to promote women in science!!!
