How to juggle being a mother with a career in academia
In this episode, we’re asking what happens when you become a mother alongside your job working in science? How do you balance the pressures of academia with your new role as a parent? And do systemic structural barriers still play a role in pushing mother’s away from careers in academia?
Join Eleanor Newton as she speaks to Lisa Heather, British Heart Foundation Fellow and Associate Professor at the University of Oxford. And Isabel Torres, co-founder of Mother’s In Science, an organisation which aims to raise awareness of the barriers that mothers in STEMM face.
