This is super insightful and great advice for those in #academia thinking about a move outside.

@FromPhDtoLife It’s just my garden. But, I bet there are people out there that have traded the lab bench for some incredible vistas. I’d love to see what people have done. As a scientist, visualising what life could look like was an important driver for me to make the decision to leave academia

@MTau52569762 @eLife @adna_sci …tried to address this balance can’t. So, like many many super smart people, they end up walking away from academia because there isn’t a place for them, not through any fault of their own.

@MTau52569762 @eLife @adna_sci …align. And can make having either impossible. Which is sad that you have to choose between them. The system is broken for many reasons: race, gender, pay, publishing, funding, reproducibility, career path, among others. There is also intense disappointment for those that…

[adam tozer @adamtozer]

@MTau52569762 @eLife @adna_sci …it was like to do all of this during a global pandemic.
Research careers are awesome, but they can take a toll on some people. Don’t be quick to judge a person’s choices before you have walked in their shoes. Similarly, speak to as many research scientists as you can before..
