Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali - Should failure be normalised in academia?

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Kam is currently in the depths of that feeling most, if not all, academics experience throughout their careers, the feeling of failing. Three hits in as many months is enough to give anyone pause for thought! A grant application that doesn't get through to the next round, failure to get a paper published, and then an internal grant rejection. There are so many ways to fail in academia, and so many of us experience failure, often repeatedly. So in this month’s blog Kam asks the question: should failure be normalised in academia?
