Returning to research after a career break isn’t always straightforward. With the right support, it’s possible. Pathways back are vital - for individuals, for institutions, and for the future of research. If this resonates, please share! Visibility matters for researchers considering a return.

Daphne Jackson Trust @daphnejacksontr.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Research environments thrive on #diversity. When people step away from a linear career path, returning can be challenging. To sustain a healthy research ecosystem, we work closely with funders, hosts, and fellows to provide both financial and moral support across the research landscape.
