The PhD Parent: Balancing Parenthood and Academia

Listen to my new podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/r3ciprocity-podcast/id1588972364 I talk about parenting as a PhD in being an academic. I talk about how you build walls around your family, and you make sacrifices for your family. The goal is to have as much stability in your family unit as possible so that you can go forward and tackle the world as a team together. That means sometimes team members need extra help and so you spend time to work with them. This means that you may have to sacrifice some of your own career for the team.
