someone told me yesterday that when they feel nervous about trying something new & their heart starts beating really fast, that they call it their “inner applause” because their body is cheering them on, and i think that’s the best narrative adjustment ever.

While gathering all the paperwork for my new employment contract in Germany, I couldn't help but wonder . . . did the Germans invent bureaucracy?

@SeCaDa_Phys Тhank you so much Sebastian 💚

[Ivona Kafedjiska @kafedjiska]

I am really, really glad to see how much the topic of mental health in academia is gaining momentum and I hope that I will be getting more chances to advocate for a nurturing environment for everyone’s well-being. 💚

Left: the dream
Right: the reality

I had a bit of a conference run these days. Yesterday at the PhD Symposium @IZWberlin there was an important session on Mental Health with a key note by @kafedjiska. Nearly half of the PhD students feel anxiety! #phdlife
