Researcher Realities session: Reconciling research funding and the real world

Your research pathway doesn’t run in isolation, research has to accommodate life changes and events, some of which will have a profound impact on how you conduct research or your desire to do so at all. The speakers in this session will offer perspectives on the impact of different life events on the course of their research and offer reflections on how they maintained projects through challenging times or restored their passion for research after the dust had settled. This session aims to bring more visibility to the external issues that can shape research careers and open a frank conversation about what can be done to navigate the pathways.
