Education and teaching-focussed careers in academia have historically been under-valued, and there is a relative lack of career development resources for education focussed roles compared to research focussed roles. Raising the profile of education focussed careers and supporting education focussed academics has been central to my career. These resources are designed to be useful to all academics with an education or teaching component of their role.

If you are a bioscientist, you might be interested in joining the Bioscience Educators Network. I was a co-founder of this network, which has supported around 100 education focussed academics within UK biosciences to obtain fellowship, promotion or increase the impact of their education and scholarship.
