This picture, to me, visualizes exactly what it feels like to balance academic work and family life. My 5-year-old child had been home with a cold and my partner and I had been taken turns playing with him for the last two days. This morning before he went off to Kindergarten again, he continued what he had started last night: training the Playmobil children to become Ninjas. After my partner had left with our son, I went to continue working and found all the Playmobil children gathered around my laptop. There’s always both, work and family: when you play, you keep thinking about research, and when you’re doing work, the toys are watching you.
