Scientist says experience of homelessness shaped her research
Original: I used to be homeless. That experience shapes my science
Science magazine has published a personal essay by a researcher who describes spending time homeless and argues that the experience continues to shape how she does science. The piece reflects on how periods of housing insecurity affected her approach to research, resilience and empathy in academic work. Readers are sharing and discussing the story, with many responding to its frank account of hardship in a scientific career.
Why now: A prominent science publication featuring a first-person account of homelessness resonates with ongoing debates about precarity and diversity in academia.
