New year, more of The Academinist! We kick off 2022 contemplating who’s really the ‘evil half’ of The Academinist, first jobs and what Beyoncé gets done in 24 hours. Plus we’re joined by Ciara Kenneally, PhD researcher studying antibiotic resistance at Munster Technological Institute, talking about the challenges faced when you need to work on the side to make ends meet while studying, or working a second job.
*TW: Burnout and mental health discussed throughout*
