Beth Eyre - Hello imposter syndrome my old friend

Beth Eyre narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

If you're a jobbing scientist or researcher of any kind, you're probably familiar with imposter syndrome, also known as impostor phenomenon or impostorism. It's a psychological occurrence in which an individual doubts their skills, talents, or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud. Despite external evidence of their competence, those experiencing this phenomenon do not believe they deserve their success or luck. Well in this blog, Beth talks to some strategies that she has found help her in dealing with the effects.
