Jennifer Cearns: On Unique Combinations of Skills and Ways to Reach Balance

In today’s episode we explore Jennifer’s multiple and equally strong yet seemingly unrelated careers. We ask how she balances the different skills needed and how she makes spaces for them inside herself? As a soprano, Jennifer is used to being in the spotlight, so we are curious how she manages to equally embrace the role of the silent observer. Being busy keeps Jennifer interested and thus allows her to accomplish more. But how to organize the workflow so that the thought-making process is given the deserved space and time? Jennifer also reflects on the highlights of her PhD project, which led her to writing a book, and on the unique working conditions that only academia can create. Listen to the episode to get energized by Jennifer’s vibrant approach to life and research.
