Thank you for taking the time to write this, for the advice and for the insights!
I see… When you were teaching, were you expected to produce publications at the same time, in addition to the other duties? How are you supposed to produce high quality research if you have your attention divided all the time...
I live in Finland at the moment, so the situation here is a bit more relaxed in comparison to other countries. But then I’m not sure where I’ll be going for postdoc. Maybe somewhere where it’s not so chill and the work-life balance is not a priority.
What you said about writing for popular websites/blogs… yeah, it’s something I should definitely start doing, since these days they highlight how important is research dissemination/popularization. Though it’s also something I’m struggling with, it’s hard to let go of discipline-specific jargon :)
