SUMMARY:Navigating Academia and Parenthood
DESCRIPTION:Planning a career in academia is challenging enough without the added pressure of starting a family. How do we balance grant writing\, international conferences\, short-term contracts\, and the desire to have children?  \n\nThe Organization for Human Brain Mapping – Student and Postdoc Special Interest Group (SIG) has panelists Professor Saad Jbabdi\, Dr. Isabella Breukelaar\, Dr. Michele Veldsman\, and Dr. Kevin Aquino discuss their experience balancing personal and professional life. This 1 hour webinar explores the intersection of academic careers and parenthood.\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\nAbout our panelists:\nDr Saad Jbabdi is a father of one\, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Senior Research Fellow at St Hilda’s college Oxford. After obtaining his PhD in 2006\, he became a parent during his Postdoc in 2013. That same year he was writing a Career Development Fellowship which was successful and subsequently allowed him to start his own lab. \nDr Isabella Breukelaar is a mum of two and a Postdoctoral Fellow working at the Brain Dynamics Centre\, Westmead Institute for Medical Research in Sydney Australia. She completed her PhD in 2019 at the University of Sydney and had her first baby in the second year of her Postdoc (August 2021). After taking just over half a year off\, she returned to work part-time before having her second child at the start of 2025. She returned to work at the end of last year. \nDr Michele Veldsman is a mum of two (aged 4 and 7). She had both her children during postdoctoral positions at The University of Oxford. She is now Director of Science and Technology for Axiomics Consulting and founder of Playroom Parenting. \nDr Kevin Aquino is a father of two and Chief Scientific Officer at BrainKey.ai.
