Balance and Boundaries with Tomi Akingbade

This month Jodi returns and The Academinist unites as two tired PhDs talk work/life balance and setting boundaries to look after yourself AND your experiments (who knew?!) Plus we’re joined by Tomi Akingbade, research technician and founder of Black Women in Science Network. We have an honest chat about the times when things aren’t so balanced, tips and advice, plus the additional challenges when it comes to setting boundaries as a Black woman in research.
