Perspectives on Parenting and Research Life in Eos

The panelists and I from the Centennial session at the 2019 AGU Fall Meeting got together to co-author an Eos opinion article on our perspectives and experiences with balancing parenthood and academic research work, The COVID-19 pandemic has only made this conversation more necessary and urgent. There will be significant long-term impacts of the COVID disruptions on people's careers–in addition to the substantial personal and emotional toll individuals are grappling with–especially for academics balancing work and child care responsibilities. These are five distinct perspectives on this issue, which is not new and will not go away, but is nonetheless important to talk about openly and attempt to address some of the most serious challenges.
