In some ways a career in academia comes with the expectation that you’ll move around to wherever the research takes you. But the prospect of moving to another town, or even another country, can be daunting, even for the most adventurous amongst us. This week we hear the experience of one professor who moved his family from the UK to Ireland in the middle of a global pandemic. Plus, we get insight from a relocation specialist who says the prospect of moving doesn’t have to be a daunting one. Join Eleanor Newton as she speaks to Professor Christopher Torrens, associate Professor in Physiology and Physiology Education at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. And Natalie Trice, award winning coach, public speaker and the author of ‘How to Relocate: The Ultimate Guide to Starting Over Successfully’. Find out more about becoming a member of The Physiological Society here. The Physiological Society is Europe’s largest community of physiologists and we have been supporting our members to change the world with physiology for 150 years.
