Dr Sam Moxon - Be Your Own Benchmark: Measuring Your Career Journey

Dr Sam Moxon - Be Your Own Benchmark: Measuring Your Career Journey

Dr Sam Moxon, narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In his blog, Sam explores the common pitfalls of imposter syndrome and the Dunning-Kruger effect in the academic and research fields. He shares his personal experience, transitioning from a successful PhD to a slower-paced postdoctoral project, highlighting the dangers of comparing oneself to others in similar career stages. His key message is to focus on personal growth and self-set benchmarks rather than external standards. By doing so, one nurtures self-compassion and motivation, leading to a more positive and sustainable career trajectory.
