As 2021 draws to a close, we get cosy and have an honest chat about loneliness in research life with Dr. Molly Williams, who has just completed her PhD research at Dublin City University. We talk about mental health, building support networks, moving away to do research, plus how it can feel particularly isolating trying to navigate your career as a woman in science.
