Uncovering the Human Side of Research - S0 / E06

Navigating leadership, BACs and more Tenure Track challenges - With Prof. Rumyana Karlova and Prof. Maria Barbosa

while staying true to yourself.

In this episode, I talked to two professors of Wageningen University, Rumyana Karlova and Maria Barbosa.

Starting out with questions around leadership, we took a deep and broad dive into academic live at Wageningen (and other places in the world), covering diverse questions like: what's the basis of trust, what are important skills for tenure trackers to develop, how to approach your assessment committee, how the system could be improved and many other topics.

Over Uncovering the Human Side of Research

In this podcast, we don't talk about study designs or the outcomes of scientific experiments. These conversations are about the Human Side of doing research, the stories about the people behind the scientific output. You will hear scientists, coaches and other experts in science share their personal stories and advice regarding the challenges and the opportunities of academic careers. We hope that this podcast will excite, inspire and help you in your own career.
