Dr Lindsey Sinclair - What does it mean to be Perfect?
Dr Lindsey Sinclair narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.
In this blog, Lindsey reflects on the pressure researchers feel to strive for perfection in their work. Drawing parallels with Donald Winnicott’s “good enough” concept in parenting, she argues that the relentless pursuit of perfection can hinder progress, damage wellbeing, and leave work unfinished. Instead, she suggests focusing on excellence and recognising that imperfection is part of the scientific process, allowing for better balance and sustainability in research careers.
