I need to add something. For everyone saying 'not just in academia', two wrongs don't make a right. If it's wrong in academia it is wrong elsewhere. Also, please understand I work in academia and therefore will point out what is wrong with the environment I know.

Please spare everyone to the 'I love my job, it' s a privilege to kill myself doing it' BS.That's exactly the sort of glorification I'm talking about. I can love my job AND want to be paid for my labour AND want a life outside it. They are not mutually exclusive things.

Finally, I didn't make this tweet to get career advice from patronising men on how to have a work life balance. That's not the point! I've picked my mentors already and they are absolute stars at giving me all that advice when I ask for it.

I still resent the implication that people who don't work a hundred hours a week aren't passionate about science. I've sacrificed a lot for science and HE, but we can't create a culture where you have to choose between life and work. Too many good scientists burn out and quit

I don’t work weekends or evenings. Started when children were wee, but now essential for happiness. Macho work brigade disapprove
but I meet deadlines and take care of my group. If you give yourself longer to do things, they will take longer! -
I know some other amazing women who have their barriers very clear and are incredibly productive and successful nonetheless. One of them is a dear friend
@eilis_hannon who has been a great inspiration in that sense. Thought I should give her a shoutout in this topic. - Näytä vastaukset
