Here we give some<br \/>\nexamples of how they manage to balance these responsibilities with work:<\/p>\n<p>Michael Butler has two school age children and his wife is also in paid<br \/>\nemployment. He does the school run most mornings and always tries to keep<br \/>\nevenings and weekends free to spend time with his family. He took two<br \/>\nweeks paternity leave after both children were born and takes occasional<br \/>\nleave on school closure days or if one of his children is ill.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Weal has two children under the age of four. This has meant careful<br \/>\nselection of overseas conference trips and planning of meetings to enable him<br \/>\nto be home to help prepare dinner as much as possible. In order to balance<br \/>\nthis, some evenings are given over to work once the children are in bed.<\/p>\n<p>Other SAT members such as Mike Wald, Su White and Yvonne Howard have<br \/>\ngrown up children and so have less caring responsibilities at the moment. In<br \/>\nthe past they did combine work with taking care of children and their jobs has<br \/>\nallowed him some flexibility to share taking children to school or picking them<br \/>\nup or attending school functions or working from home if required by his<br \/>\nfamily&#8217;s needs (e.g. birth of children and illness etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Camillia Zedan is a female postgraduate researcher within ECS. She is also<br \/>\nchair of the IEEE Southampton Student Branch and part of the university&#8217;s<br \/>\nrowing team.
