Fantastic article by @LabListon in @ImmunolCellBiol #kindnesstoothers #kindnessinscience

#PositiveResearchCulture is hard to define. We know it when we experience it, and we certainly feel it when it is absent. In #ImmunologyFutures @ImmunolCellBiol we ask: how can #universities and institutes nurture a positive culture? 1/13

✅Saying no
✅Setting strict working hours
✅Putting a cap on how much work you can take on
✅Being mindful about the type of content you consume

What does setting boundaries look like for you?

May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth! The Conversation has published a great article on the common mental health concerns in academia.

[Anna Schueth, PhD @SchuethAnna]

It`s #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth and I just came across this study with 3,352 PhD students & 1,256 working professionals (NHS questionnaires):

40% of the PhD students showed depression/anxiety and 35% of both groups a suicide risk. 😔
