Academia can feel relentless, but perfection isn’t the goal. Emily Spencer’s @ejmspencer.bsky.social latest blog explores how she found resilience amidst parenting & research. 💪 https://buff.ly/49nQM9e
Promotional graphic for the blog 'Battling Perfectionism and Building Resilience' by Emily Spencer, a PhD student at University College London. The graphic features the title in bold text alongside a vibrant illustration of a woman holding a baby in one arm and a wrench in the other, symbolising balance between parenting and work. Chains labelled 'Perfectionism' and 'Resilience' are breaking apart, conveying growth and strength. Emily Spencer's photo is displayed in the top right corner, with her title and institution listed below. The Dementia Researcher logo is included in the centre.
