One of the hazards in transitioning is a more sedentary lifestyle and needing to learn new life skills. What changes around you? What changes do you have to make? Do you have to wear sunglasses to handle all that sunshine? A lot of things do change, but most of those changes are for the better.

In this episode, we discuss how we’ve adapted to life outside of academia. It applies to all of us in our transitions, too. Podcast: Play in new window | Download (78.8MB)Īdaptation.

Kristen’s brightest moments occur when excited, young, queer museum visitors share how welcomed they feel by Kristen and their “They/Them” pronoun pin. “There has been innumerable amounts of research that highlight how much better work is done when diverse voices are in the room” They are committed to increasing the visibility of the queer science community and to deconstructing systems that result in the diminution of the queer experience in science and science-adjacent fields. Speaking of diversity, Kristen identifies on the non-binary side of the gender galaxy and uses they/them pronouns. Having most enjoyed the literature research and storytelling aspects of their Ph.D., Kristen now spends their time in exhibit development at the Museum of Science & Industry where they discover and define the compelling and fascinating stories that resonate with the museum’s diverse audience. Kristen is a recent museum transplant with a scientific background in pipetting – er, cell biology. “Once I was able to release my identity as a scientist, it allowed space for understanding the other parts of myself that just didn’t have space before” They discuss their transition story, taking some time away from academia to find what’s next and the challenge of getting to know yourself in an all-consuming environment that is earning a PhD.

of the challenges Dennis is facing is that, although advocacy is supposed to be for free, he is still trying to find alternatives of how he can proceed with this and make money with it. There’s always the transition period, but after you decide that you’re going to do it, it feels good. Dennis Eckmeier, his journey outside academia and his actual advocacy projects, including the Science for Progress podcast and its twitter rotating twitter account was a joint podcast between the Recovering Academic and the Science for Progress podcasts, so we all discuss our reasons for leaving academia and realized Amanda was the only one of us that never did any experiments in the dark! In this week of the Recovering Academic podcast we talk with Dr.
