Beth Eyre - Reflections on my (kind of) first year as a post-doc

Beth Eyre narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Beth reflects on her nearly one-year experience as a post-doc, highlighting the lack of control in research projects, the significant responsibilities of the role, the never-ending tasks, the importance of time management, and the constant uncertainty of what's next in an academic career.... Sound familiar? She acknowledges the dynamic nature of science and the need to adapt to changing priorities and circumstances, ultimately emphasising the uniqueness of each individual's journey in academia.
