I just realized that I hadn't found my #Ikigai yet. Will that be a #postdoc or #R&D or #industry job? Let's find out.

I think it is the first time ever the SL community got to hoist a SL flag at the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick. It is truly amazing to see Canada recognizing its cultural diversity.

Okay, there goes my dream of becoming an academic. 🤔

Will I even stand a chance to start as an early career academic?
