'Kicking off' tonight's @womenofthewohl @londonpostdocs #WohlOnlyTemp discussion - excited for a candid chat about the academic pathway, hearing from both ECRs and PIs #equalitymatters
Great turn out for our panel 'It's Only Temporary', discussing how to navigate the many uncertainties post-PhDπ§The energy of us all being in a room sharing experiences & discussing the problems together has certainly been missed the past year or so!πͺ#WohlOnlyTemp

Huge thanks to all participating in tonight's #WohlOnlyTemp
Laura co-leading @womenofthewohl along with Rebecca, ended with positive takeaway messages encouraging ECRs to be opportunistic as well as calling for sector reform and culture change!
Now for networking over nibbles!
@NCNDgroup_KCL reflecting on mentoring vs supervising - mentoring is somewhat more one-directional as the focus is more on the mentee.. and hence the relationship is based on the mentor's willingness to help and invest in the mentee.. #WohlOnlyTemp
@eoingalligan @womenofthewohl @awalsh9890 Thank you for your support!! #WohlOnlyTemp @womenofthewohl
Through mentoring and working with young people, @LeighWi17063105 recognises the importance of mentoring (both as a mentor and as a mentee) #WohlOnlyTemp
@_MaryAgyapong reflects on the importance of mentoring - while family and friends' support is crucial.. a good mentor can provide unbiased support that is more constructive to your career. #WohlOnlyTemp
@_MaryAgyapong sharing her experience of how valuable she has found #mentoring as a PhD student - it challenged the common "if you know, you know" information asymmetry in academia
#phdvoice #phdchat #ecrchat #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #WohlOnlyTemp @womenofthewohl
On our last topic of mentoring vs supervising, we discussed the difference between the two.. can a supervisor be a good mentor when your work/output may affect their work/output? #WohlOnlyTemp @londonpostdocs
Being asked about the possibility of re-entering academia and whether there's a time limit, @awalsh9890 shares that she believes that the doors are never closed but the doors may open to different opportunities in academia... #WohlOnlyTemp
@NCNDgroup_KCL asked the audience if they knew anyone who has switched jobs or changed fields.. and so many know people who have! So why is this not as commonly discussed in academia? #WohlOnlyTemp
@_MaryAgyapong recommended following as many individuals on Twitter to learn about their experiences in academia (and why/how some left academia) #WohlOnlyTemp
@awalsh9890 brilliant words of wisdom for those who do not want to pursue research after a PhD
"It's not a failure, it's not a lack of resilience.."
WORDS THAT WE NEED TO HEAR MORE OFTEN!!
@londonpostdocs @womenofthewohl #WohlOnlyTemp
On career options and progression, @awalsh9890 reminds the audience that the skills you gain in your PhD and postdocs are transferrable and you should not limit yourselves to pursue aspects of it that you are passionate about! #WohlOnlyTemp
Work-life balance. Can we really have that in academia? The panel discusses the archaic belief that you need to make science your whole life to be a successful scientist. #WohlOnlyTemp @londonpostdocs
So what do our @womenofthewohl @londonpostdocs #WohlOnlyTemp panels recommend to our audience to handle the anxiety around short-term contracts?
1. Gain awareness about the reality (through networking)
2. Learn about other opportunities (through workshops and training)
Why can't we hire academic staff as permanent?? Our panel and audiences discuss @LeighWi17063105 @NCNDgroup_KCL @_MaryAgyapong @awalsh9890 #callingforchange #culturechange
When do you become aware of what options are available to you?
@womenofthewohl #WohlOnlyTemp #ecrchat
#WohlOnlyTemp On the topic of short-term contracts and job security, @NCNDgroup_KCL shared his own experience on an overseas postdoc job falling through days before he was supposed to fly over! However, the job he ended up getting next was a blessing in disguise!
@womenofthewohl @londonpostdocs are running a closed panel discussion about the academic pathway tonight, building on issues raised #TheLostVoices national campaign #WohlOnlyTemp - that have affected PIs and continue to impact ECRs
