Long time since last post: now honorary consultant (though no uni tenure), new baby, two-year research grant application just submitted. Writing for my life: want to go for a second one this year.
Father of two! Clinical academic! Feel good about where I am in life. New baby is an absolute wonder, and first baby loves him so much, which melts our hearts. Still feel like current research projects (that I’m research associate on, rather than leading) will never be finished. Clinical is going without incident and is enjoyable, for now at least.
Itchy feet still: if someone offered me a clinical academic job in Canada I would lobby very very hard to go for it.
