Meet Ana.

Hi, I’m Ana Pineda, PhD and I help academics like you to focus and write. I've taken everything I've learned from more than 15 years of doing research and helped thousands of scientists with their writing and productivity so they can feel confident with their work. Through my courses, writing retreats, and free materials like this, we follow a mindful approach to help you focus, write, and get funded šŸŽŠ

My mission is to make this world better by helping scientists to have a more productive, more creative, and happier research life. Should we start?

Why a "Getting funded" theme?

Because I want you to have more money.

I work daily with amazing, conscious, and rockstar scientists. Even if we don't work together, you are probably also one of these conscious scientists who want to change the world. And I see that academia would be a better place if there were more people like you, and with funding for their teams and their research.

More people like you to supervise PhDs, postdocs and train future generations of scientists who put people first.

More people like you to model what it means to do amazing science AND be a human who has a life and prioritises that.

More people like you who felt like they didn't belong in academia. Maybe for being a woman, a neurodivergent person, or a foreigner.

Yes, I want more people like you in academia, and with money.

And I've learned a few things about getting money I'd like to share with you!
