Episode 4: Plan your journey: Navigating the ECR landscape with April-Louise Pennant and Martin Scheuregger

Failing to plan is planning to fail, right? Often, your journey makes sense only in retrospect. With so many choices in the contemporary ECR landscape, what’s the right route to take?  

In this episode of Confessions of an Early Career Researcher, we hear from April-Louise Pennant and Martin Scheuregger on their different ECR journeys. Discussing the ‘traditional’ lecturer route, the more precarious ‘researcher’ route and all the in-betweens, they unpack the power of turning diversions into opportunities, the need to focus on what you’re truly interested in, and the importance of saying both yes and no.
