“Exploring my own thoughts from inside academic life.”

Welcome to the ScientistWithHeart podcast, my open diary of academic life. This is a space where I share my personal thoughts and reflections on research, teaching and university life. These are my own opinions, and the aim is to spark discussion, exchange perspectives, and gather insights from others navigating the academic rollercoaster at the bench and in the lecture hall.
