Really excited about co-moderating the first @GrowingUpInSci event here at @UniofOxford together with @Atika_Ibrahim organised by the @CortexClub. Happening this Friday 31st July at 4pm (BST). Our first speaker will be the amazing @TheFrontalLobe_ . See bellow for more details👇 
Have you ever wondered what your advisor struggled with as graduate student? What they struggle with now?
Growing up in science is a conversation series featuring personal narratives of becoming and being a scientist, with a focus on the unspoken challenges of a life in science:
Growing up in science is a conversation series featuring personal narratives of becoming and being a scientist, with a focus on the unspoken challenges of a life in science:
struggles, failures, doubts, detours, and weaknesses. Common topics include dealing with expectations, impostor syndrome, procrastination, luck, rejection, conflicts with advisors, and work-life balance, life outside academia but these topics are always embedded in the speaker’s
broader narrative. Instructions on how to attend the talk (via Zoom and Youtube) will be circulated on our mailing list (join our mailing list here cortexclub.com/join-us/). Alternatively, on the day of the event we will share the youtube link on our social platforms and website.
On a personal note, I can say that @TheFrontalLobe_ has lots to share about struggles in Academia, overcomming difficulties and defining his own path in everchanging cirucmstances. He is also a champion of #OpenScience and recently started new exciting chapter at @CoMind_
I think you will enjoy his story but if you are not convinced yet, have a look at his Official/Unofficial story and see for yourself cortexclub.com/event/growing-…
Finally, many thanks to @weijima01 @yael_niv and all the other people involved with @GrowingUpInSci for inspiring us to start these events. Check out this paper for more details science.sciencemag.org/content/357/63… and the GUIS website: cns.nyu.edu/events/growing…
Special thanks to @RafSarnataro and @MartaBlancoPozo from the current @CortexClub for all their hard work in making this happen. We really hope this is useful and helps many people, especially PhD students, who quitely struggle on their own. You are not alone! ❤️💙💚🤎🖤🤍🧡
