Editor's Notes

  1. The premise of this talk:: There is an ‘ideal’ route to an academic career which is what we hear about It isn’t the only way Sometimes taking in the scenery can be crucial to deciding what path you want to take Everyone is different… this was my experience (i.e. I’m not offering recipes)
