Listened to this while on the microscope, juggling 10000 things😴& highly recommend! Thanks for putting such an honest discussion out there. 👇 'As you progress, it becomes impossible to do everything to 100%, but your 70% is now someone else's 100%' was great food for thought!

Final @theacademinist episode of 2023 is OUT!🤩We put @notbrainscience in a cupboard, AND @syaterry chats navigating motherhood & thriving in academia (spoiler: it's still hard. In awe of birthing parents who 'make it work' (they shouldn't have to), despite the challenges.⬇️
