Dr Lindsey Sinclair - Is kindness key in academic life?

Dr Lindsey Sinclair narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this blog, Lindsey reflects on the role of kindness in academia, questioning whether success and empathy can coexist. Drawing from personal experience as a psychiatrist and researcher, she shows how kindness, towards oneself and others, builds healthier teams, fosters trust, and strengthens research culture. From small gestures like a smile or a thank you to mentoring and supporting colleagues, her message is clear: kindness is not a weakness but a foundation for effective, ethical, and fulfilling academic life.
