Adaptation. It’s not just a macroevolutionary term. It applies to all of us in our transitions, too. In this episode, we discuss how we’ve adapted to life outside of academia.

What changes around you? What changes do you have to make? Do you have to wear sunglasses to handle all that sunshine? A lot of things do change, but most of those changes are for the better.

One of the hazards in transitioning is a more sedentary lifestyle and needing to learn new life skills.“Moving to a big city means figuring out new life skills… like navigating without a car.” @IHStreetWe also talk about how it is difficult to make friends in new places and finding a new tribe. But making those new friends allow us to hear new viewpoints and break out of academia bubble.“We’re not the owners of the truth.” - @Doctor_PMSIt can also push us to do new things outside of our comfort zones—which isn't bad.“I enjoyed the experience of talking to someone I don’t know. I was surprised!” @LadyScientistMentioned in This EpisodeMetropolitan Brewing
