🧪Hello science friends! Looking to speak with scientists who are caregivers, particularly if you are caring for a spouse or relative. It's for an upcoming piece in Nature. Please spread the word and RT!

My mom retired from her career at OSU to care for my father when he developed Alzheimer's (both of them were scientists). This was back in 2016 - would you be interested in talking with her?

You might want to connect with us over at Schmidt Ocean Institute. This is an area we're working on, offering caretaking grants for scientists going out to sea and a few other examples. I'd be happy to connect you!
