I think quite a few of us have it because we're surrounded by brilliant, really competitive [people]. It's a very competitive field. It's getting even harder to survive. Everyday life comes as an obstacle to your research. I think that's the main thing: trying to balance everything. Of course, you doubt. We're humans. Sometimes we break down. And this [candidature for professorship] is a combination of having lovely colleagues as well. Because as I said, I wasn't going to go for it this year by myself. And then maybe next year, I wouldn't think that I am quite ready. Everybody in research is quite different. The previous people who got their professorship had a very different CV from me. You can't compare and be certain that, yes, this is the right time for me. So it's good to have academic mentors who really care and can provide independent advice. Laura, let's go further into the future. What is your dream? Oh, I haven't. So far, I've been limited to [dreaming of] getting my professorship and having a group and doing the research that I've always wanted with unlimited funds. That's the dream. I think I'm a little bit more down to earth now. I would like to work with people I love working with, because life is so much better. And I got a little glimpse of that when I created my CAMI group. I had wonderful people working all together, passionate for the research, but also friendly and very easygoing. Our dreams and aspirations matched. It's much easier to work hard with likeminded people. So I think that's my dream: to keep having amazing people surrounding me and trying to improve health care!
