Significant Impact: from K Award to Your First Big R01

Done Is Better Than Perfect, Even With Your R01


Listen Later

One of the most common and most dangerous traits of high-achieving academics is perfectionism. 

Working with early career researchers, I’ve learned that perfectionism is doing more than causing delays because you want your R01 to be perfect. It’s hiding a big fear that academics must overcome if they want to live out their dreams as a researcher.

The fear of being criticized. 

Let’s talk about why this fear is holding you back so that you can unlearn what you think it means to be critiqued, and use critiques to help you become a better researcher. 

Tune in to this episode of the podcast to learn about:

And so much more!

Learn why choosing bravery over perfectionism is how you achieve your research goals!
