Dr Jodi Watt - I didn’t know who I was after my PhD (and maybe I still don’t..)

Dr Jodi Watt - I didn’t know who I was after my PhD (and maybe I still don’t..)

Dr Jodi Watt, narrating a new blog they wrote for the Dementia Researcher website.

Jodi is a "dabbler" (their words) who explores various aspects of life and identity. In this blog Jodi discusses the toll of a PhD and academic expectations on life, mental health and personal growth. They reflect on the pervasive pressure to continuously grind, impacting not only the themselves but also others in academia. Jodie talks about their work to challenge and change these norms and how an ongoing pursuit of self-discovery through a diverse range of interests and activities is making a difference, and could for you too.

Dr Jodi Watt is a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Glasgow. Jodi's academic interests are in both healthy ageing and neurodegenerative diseases of older age, and they are currently working on drug repurposing for dementia. Previously they worked on understanding structural, metabolic and physiological brain changes with age, as measured using magnetic resonance imaging. As a queer and neurodiverse person, Jodi is also incredibly interested in improving diversity and inclusion practices both within and outside of the academic context.
