As many have already said, Janet was a true force of nature who inspired, and terrified in equal measure, so many of us who passed through the CSCT. She was the kind of person who could find a spark of knowledge/creativity inside of you and 'nurture' it into something worth showing to the world (although, this often involved throwing enough kindling at it till something, anything, took hold). I can still recall the feeling of devastation that came with seeing the amount of red pen on a piece of writing returned from her, followed by the elation upon being told that it was actually quite good when we finally met in person. I also remember the 'academia vs industry' chat that many of us had with her upon starting our PhDs - I literally took one step inside the door and was informed that I was 'academia', I'm sure others had actual conversations! I chose my area of research so that I could learn from, and work with, her and have never looked back. Janet made an everlasting impact on everyone she met and she will be sorely missed.
