Dr Gaia Brezzo - Moving four-ward, could a 4-day working week work in academia?

Dr Gaia Brezzo narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Work smarter not harder – I am sure you have heard this phrase before. And if you work in academia, like Gaia, I am sure you probably shrugged it off, most likely thinking I need to work smarter AND harder. But do we really? And where does this working ethos come from? In this blog Gaia talks about the 4-day working week movement that has really taken traction following the pandemic, the remarkable benefits working a shorter week can bring for employees and employers and discuss if this could really work in academia and if so, what it would look like.
