"The success of higher education depends on enabling students to fulfill their potential. This rests squarely on mental well-being," argues Science's Editor-in-Chief H. Holden Thorp in a new #ScienceEditorial on #MentalHealth at universities. https://t.co/i7ocNCgxfG

"… I made a point of treating the undergraduates I supervised the way I wish I’d been treated."

Mentors, don't neglect scientific trainees. Treat them as you'd like to be treated, argues this #ScienceWorkingLife. https://t.co/FWTJSefbht

"What I’ve learned in my journey of decades can be summarized in a single sentence: Just be kind."

This week's #ScienceWorkingLife on how a professor learned to nurture relationships in academia—and be more kind. https://t.co/54XomEqlaI

Toxic workplaces are the main reason women leave academic jobs. Women feel driven out by problems with workplace culture more often than by lack of work–life balance. #AcademicChatter What do you think?

[Science Advances @ScienceAdvances]

Women leave academia at higher rates than men at every career stage, and attrition is especially high among three groups: tenured faculty, women in non-STEM fields, and women employed at less prestigious institutions, according to a new analysis. https://t.co/hGIpbZX6tl

Last week, we organized a workshop on "How to take care of mental health in academia?" @Empa_CH. The consensus was clear: mental health is an essential topic in the academic environment that has to be openly addressed. #MentalHealthAwarenessDay
