@Aditya_singh97 Glad to hear that your lab has green flags! 🥰

What are some of the #GreenFlags you look for in an #advisor?

Great advice for additional details to consider documenting! Be sure to have time stamps and note who saw and was involved that may be able to speak on your behalf.

[Michael Wells @mwellshalophile]

Dates, eyewitnesses, records of texts and phone call are all essential. Keep in mind also that if they are abusing you, they likely have abused others.Reach out to current and former students/postdocs.

@Kyle_Ireton @dejiatbiochem @ashleyruba Thanks for the recommendation! Yes, we are working on creating posts and providing lots of semi-regular resources and advice to identify abuse and protect students.

@JRandal76 @LaurVieEnRose It really depends on your program and the faculty members. I’ve seen many students transition labs and many others who leave the program altogether as well. The reasons you present for your reasons for switching labs don’t have to be your real reasons either. Protect yourself.

[Safe Faculty Project @SafeFacultyProj]

Have you ever felt this way?

[Safe Faculty Project @SafeFacultyProj]

Hey, everyone! The Safe Faculty Project website transitioned to a new URL: https://t.co/ScZW6sEPDj

@katestorrs @aifbw Yup! Our purpose to highlight how it is directly related to the mentor-mentee relationship, but it can other reasons, too. It's important to reflect on whether the feelings are advisor-specific, program-wide, or broader.
