Показать описание
Dr Sleeman shares her personal journey in research, with inspiring stories and advice for early career clinical academics.

"My career has been such a zig-zag: in fact, I would say it's been characterised by extremes. From success to failure: from moments of absolute clarity to long periods of deep uncertainty, and from motivation to frustration."

Starting from a degree in developmental biology, Katherine trained in general medicine and did a PhD on breast cancer stem cells. Her focus changed to palliative care when she started her specialist training in 2007, and she is currently an NIHR Clinician Scientist and consultant in palliative medicine at the Cicely Saunders Institute, King's College London.
