I love reading these! It's great to see how people like Simon are successfully and creatively navigating the shift.

I'm also curious, as a humanities social science person, if there are in depth examples of career pivots from other humanities/social science? I know they exist and in fact aren't uncommon, but the background stories are difficult to find.

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you’re enjoying these. You’re absolutely right — there are so many humanities and social science PhDs who’ve made powerful, creative pivots.

Since my background is in neuroscience, the early profiles leaned a bit STEM-heavy, but I’ve been intentionally expanding to include more stories from the humanities and social sciences. More are definitely on the way, so please stay tuned!
