In this episode, I sat down with Ana Osorio Oliveira - a neuroscientist, career advisor, and startup contributor - whose career shows that you don’t have to choose between staying in research and exploring other passions.

Ana shares how she built a fulfilling and flexible "portfolio career," combining neuroscience with science communication, career support, and even a past life as a Zumba instructor.

If you're like many PhDs - still loving research but feeling the itch to try something more - this episode is for you.

Ana talks honestly about what helped her stay energized, how she learned to balance multiple roles, and why giving yourself permission to explore might be the most important step in your post-PhD journey
