A sabbatical reboot
A sabbatical reboot
“Why have I traded my private office for a desk in a shared room?” I wondered. “Will I get any work done?” It was my first day at my new co-working space on the outskirts of town, 10 kilometers from my university. “I'm here on sabbatical,” I announced to my new officemates. They were directors of tech startups, unaccustomed to mingling with geoscientists like me. I desperately needed some breathing space away from the pressures of university life, but I wasn't totally convinced it would work out. I needn't have worried. The co-working space turned out to be the perfect environment for rebooting my flailing research career.

Abstract
“Why have I traded my private office for a desk in a shared room?” I wondered. “Will I get any work done?” It was my first day at my new co-working space on the outskirts of town, 10 kilometers from my university. “I'm here on sabbatical,” I announced to my new officemates. They were directors of tech startups, unaccustomed to mingling with geoscientists like me. I desperately needed some breathing space away from the pressures of university life, but I wasn't totally convinced it would work out. I needn't have worried. The co-working space turned out to be the perfect environment for rebooting my flailing research career.
