Academic peeps: I've lived through many disasters. Here is my advice on "productivity". First, play the long game. Your peers who are trying to work as normal right now are going to burn out fast. They're doomed. Make a plan with a longer vision. /1
Excited to see psychologists studying the impact of this global emergency on dual-career families with toddlers. This situation is magnifying the challenge of being a full-time parent and professional to a level that I never imagined. Consider participating and good luck to all!
Students who are being bullied can do all of the right things and still be pushed out of science. That is not okay. As faculty, we weren’t trained to deal with these situations, but we can learn how, and that can make a huge difference.

In working with busy scientists, we commonly remind them of these 5 strategies for handling overwhelm: #1 Pinpoint the primary source of overwhelm. #2 Set boundaries on your time & workload. #3 Challenge your perfectionism. #4 Outsource or delegate. #5 Challenge your assumptions.
Now, that’s some truth. Also, scientists never talk about what they do to relax or rest. Some people are machine-like, but most need a walk, a nap, a Netflix binge, or massage, etc. from time to time. Why don’t we ever talk about this?
“Failure is something that all scientists experience — but it’s hard to tell, looking at our shiny conferences, polished presentations and glossy journals.” https://t.co/EytNvkFvwO
