And there it is, the little moment when my heart skips a beat because I found something, or thought something, which I think might lead to something new, something which has not yet been said, and yet feels should be said. Why I love doing research.

Tomorrow, 11 March, I will be participating the presentation of an important new book: https://t.co/HsvwDAwiBy. It will be streamed at https://t.co/X3OBCDGy41. I will be briefly presenting my chapter, issue of my researches in the @ERC_SenSArt

So thank you for small coments "So as agreed we'll keep this online meeting short - it's a holiday here in X and my partner and I are taking turns to care for our children" #AcademicTwitter

[Micol Long @micol_long]

I appreciate when an academic makes a passing remark showing that they value work/life balance and/or that they also juggle work and childcare. It shows everyone, esp. more junior researchers, that it can and should be done, and that we don't always have to hide our struggles.
