(Bonus) The Research Adjacents with Sarah McLusky

In our weekly Research Culture Uncovered conversations we are asking what is Research Culture and why does it matter? This is bonus episode where Ruth Winden, Careers with Research Consultant, and Ged Hall, Academic Development Consultant for Research Impact chat to Sarah McLusky.  Sarah is the host of the Research Adjacent podcast. Sarah has been proudly research adjacent for over 20 years. In this episode, we find out:·       What Sarah’s career path has been ·       What research adjacent means and what Sarah is trying to achieve through the podcast. ·       The importance of proactivity and being open-minded for anyone who is in a research adjacent role, especially those who feel stuck and can’t see how progression will happen·       Why the research system (funders, universities, etc, etc) needs to acknowlege that research is always ‘done’ by a team and all of that team needs to be valued.Since talking to Sarah, Ruth and Ged are now proudly research adjacent. We always were but now we know what to call it!You can follow the Research Adjacent podcast on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/resadjacent/ and Twitter: @ResAdjacentYou can follow Sarah on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahmclusky/ and on Twitter: @smcluskyResearch culture links:Researcher Development and Culture WebsiteOur Concordat Implemention plans and progressUniversity of Leeds Research Culture StatementUniversity of Leeds Responsible Metrics StatementUniversity of Leeds Open Research Statement<br/>Follow us on twitter: @ResDevLeeds, @OpenResLeeds, @ResCultureLeeds, @HallGed, @RuthWindenConnect to us on LinkedIn: @ResearchUncoveredPodcast, @GedHall,
