accurate and relevant for people with all kinds of caregiving duties! Still fighting to contain working hours to 9-5 in my little corner of academia...
Being unable to work long hours - is one of the biggest fears among

in returning to a

career after a caregiving

. Below are the results of the poll we did during our Career Re-entry week!
What advice do any
