Should I stay or should I go? A discussion on leaving academia with Drs Karolina Urbanska, Jade Pickering, and Ian Hussey
Everyone seems to be leaving academia, so let's explore reasons why that might be with three academics who have recently left academia (one of whom came back!). They are Drs Kaolina Urbanksa, a Senior R&D Psychologist at the Chemistry Group (thechemistrygroup.com), Jade Pickering, Head of Customer Success at Gorilla (gorilla.sc), and Ian Hussey, a meta-scientist based at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany.
Dealing with rejection and failure with Dr Dan Quintana and Prof Siri Leknes
Rejection. It happens to us all, whether applying for a grant or submitting a paper for peer review. Yet, despite rejection being part of academia, academics (me included) can find rejection very difficult to cope with. To talk about issues surrounding rejection and how to cope with it, I am joined by Dr Dan Quintana (@dsquintana) and Prof Siri Leknes (@sirileknes).
Being an early career researcher feminist in open science ~ Drs Maddi Pownall & Alex Lautarescu
In today's show I will be chatting with Drs Maddi Pownall (@maddi_pow) and Alex Lautarescu (@AleLautarescu) about their recent paper, Navigating Open Science as Early Career Feminist Researchers (link below). We cover the barriers and support that open science presents for feminist researchers at the junior stages of their academic careers before touching on the idea of Impostor Syndrome and how it can have shortcomings as a term to describe self-doubt in academia.

Open Science and its challenges with Drs Emma Henderson and Loukia Tzavella
Open science is a set of reforms that seek to improve the quality of research, both in practice and culture. They address the publish or perish and fund or famine culture, and generally make the scholarly enterprise more accessible and transparent to all. Though necessary and worthwhile, advocating and practice open science is not without its challenges. My guests with discuss these challenges, drawing upon their personal experience in promoting Registered Reports! Please follow via Twitter @ImpostorPod
