Takeaways from today's episode: Imposter syndrome deals with the struggle of the Internal struggle (often to prove oneself) vs the external environment, including the lack of representation in different fields.In presentations and even in life, remember It’s ok to say ‘I don’t know’.Some ways one can work through the imposter syndrome include: acknowledging it is a common feeling, separating these feelings from facts about oneself, sharing these feelings with others and thinking: "what's the worst that can happen."Everyone gets rejections in academia, do not take it personally and do not give up trying. ResourcesHow to deal with imposter syndrome: https://time.com/5312483/how-to-deal-with-impostor-syndrome/More about imposter syndrome and how it affects women and women of colour: https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20200724-why-imposter-syndrome-hits-women-and-women-of-colour-harderRead more about Daniela’s story:https://womenaheadoftheirtime.org/stories/daniela-robles-espinoza/Read more about Seun’s story: https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/women-in-stem-oluwaseun-ogundeleGuest informationOluwaseun Ogundele is a research assistant at the Wellcome-MRC-Cambridge Stem Cell Institute.
