'During my PhD, I spent many hours at cancer-related conferences, and it was clear that vast amounts of research time and money are spent on the diagnosis of cancer and its treatment. This is vitally important, but significantly fewer resources are spent on health promotion and cancer prevention. I strongly feel that prevention is better than cure, and I'm very passionate about health promotion and disease prevention.
'I have also experienced "Superwoman Syndrome" and am aware of countless other women who are in the same boat. Although there is a wealth of advice about how to achieve a desirable work-life balance, there is a lack of information which addresses why we might take on too much in the first place.'
