How to leave academia without burning bridges

In this episode you'll learn how to approach leaving a job or academic lab in a respectful manner. E. g. focusing on explaining personal reasons for leaving rather than blaming others, expressing gratitude for invested time and effort, offering ongoing support for co-authorship and networking opportunities, and considering teaching opportunities at your alma mater. It's important to maintain positive relationships, even in difficult circumstances, while also setting boundaries and acknowledging toxic situations.
