On receiving the fellowship Jan Gooding said: “I completed my term as president with a sense of enormous pride in everything I saw this vital organisation achieve , but also with sadness that my term had come to an end. To receive this honorary Fellowship means a huge amount as it makes me feel I have a lifelong connection with the ongoing work and people in the research industry .Thank you very much for honouring me in this way. I am very chuffed.“
