Self-Doubt: An Anthology of Experiences in the Biomedical Sciences

Introducing our new book, "Self-Doubt: An Anthology of Experiences in the Biomedical Sciences". 

Have you ever had a crisis of self-doubt? A feeling that you are out of your depth and are not cut out for a career in science? I have. At the time I thought it was just me.

After decades of mentoring PhD students and postdocs, I now believe self-doubt is near-ubiquitous, an occupational hazard in science. The hardest part of dealing with your self-doubt believe you are alone in your thoughts. So my lab members and alumni have shared their own stories of career self-doubt.

If you know anyone in science who is doubting their path, please share this book with them (Amazon, Great British Bookshop) so that they know they are not alone
