Episode 05: Finding Your Identity Outside of Academia
Category: Society & Culture

Description: In this episode, we discuss the transition in identity when leaving academia. You've spent 10 years (or more!) inside of academia. Most of your friends might be inside academia. You likely derive a lot of your identity from your work. What happens when you decide that you're going to leave? One question that we address is: Are you still a scientist after you leave academia? Is it an intrinsic part of your identity or is it something that you do? There's feelings on both sides. We're scientists. That's what we do. We go and learn. -@Doctor_PMS
