After 16 years as a researcher, yesterday I left academia. It wasn’t a vain or easy decision, but one that took me at least 2 years in denial to acknowledge I needed to move on. This afternoon I gave back my TRI badge and left #FrazerInstUQ. This is why 👇🏽1/20
@VivianKahl THANK YOU for everything you've given to research, and for this brave and relatable post. The big 'academia machine' is truly dysfunctional, and so very wasteful. Mental health amongst Australia's best and brightest is at an all-time low. More collaboration, less competition!
