How do make space for the joy in your career? Early on it feels like you must say yes to anything and everything but as Dr. Emily Bernhardt explains in this interview it quickly shifts to having to make space. This is space for those things that will both define your career and bring you joy.

She also provides encouragement all PhDs (or almost PhDs) out there who want to blend life and career into a joyous mix.
