Research life and personal relationships

Is your research jealous of the attention you give to other relationships? In this episode, Anne and Yifan dive into the rewarding, but sometimes exhausting reality of balancing research with the people who make us who we are. We explore the unique hurdles of maintaining family ties across time zones, the "two-world" feeling of living as a first-generation researcher abroad, and how our personalities dictate how we handle these pressures. From navigating the guilt of missing milestones back home to the evolution of friendships and partnerships in an academic environment, we share our hardest moments and the strategies we use to stay connected amidst looming deadlines.  Have a listen and let us know what is the first word that comes to mind describing the balance you strike?   Music:  "Cipher"Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ “True Appeal”  Mubert (mubert.com)
