In Jodi's final post for Dementia Researcher, they share reflections on moving to a new role after years of writing about the realities of academic life. Jodi looks back on the value of open conversations about uncertainty and community, and offers words of encouragement to others navigating job precarity. With honesty and warmth, Jodi closes this chapter while celebrating the generosity and shared humanity that make research worth doing.

Dr Jodi Watt is a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Glasgow. Jodi's academic interests are in both healthy ageing and neurodegenerative diseases of older age, and they are currently working on drug repurposing for dementia. Previously they worked on understanding structural, metabolic and physiological brain changes with age, as measured using magnetic resonance imaging. As a queer and neurodiverse person, Jodi is also incredibly interested in improving diversity and inclusion practices both within and outside of the academic context.
