🔬🏫 EARA is deeply concerned by the ideologically based decision of the competent authority for the federal state of Bremen, Germany, that has halted significant #neuroscience research using animals at @unibremen.

It is high time for all stakeholders to ramp up their collaborative actions and strike at the root of academic #bullying to improve institutional #health and ensure that all bright minds can excel and progress in academia.

DO interview your potential advisor if you apply for a PhD or postdoc.

This can save you years of pain, lost dreams and wasted time.

❗ Most students are focused on receiving the offer. But this is the biggest mistake one can make when looking for a position.

▫️

NOT every lab is friendly and has a good mentor in charge. In fact, most professors don’t know how to mentor (as mentorship is not prioritized in academia).

AFTER you get an offer, you can avoid possible problems during your PhD/postdoc through this:

1️⃣ Interview your advisor about the approaches and opinion on:

1. Research advising (how your advisor understands it and how it’s done in the group).
2. Mentoring and personal development during PhD/postdoc.
3. Collaboration - how they do it and what role students/postdocs play in it.
4. Development of your independence and confidence in research.
5. Your participation in conferences and workshops (how often and which types of conferences).
6. How they prepare research publications – authorship, quality, time per manuscript, contributions, etc.
.

2️⃣ Make sure you can talk to the current students one on one (online or in person):

1. Ask about the group culture and support from the advisor
2. Hear their opinion on publication practices and conferences
Ultimately, don’t leave until you understand how you can fit in this group.
.

3️⃣ Talk to alumni (at least 3-4 people):

1. Check out the advisor’s website and find a list of alumni.
2. Google the names of those who went into academia and industry (to hear both sides).
3. Reach out via email or LinkedIn, explain your intentions and politely ask for a quick call.
.

🔴 Why is it important?

Because your advisor is the ONE who can shape your professional skills, motivation and perception of science.

Because the right mentor FORGES your critical thinking and vision.

And a careful search of such an advisor is the starting point.

In April, the @EU_Commission released statistics on the use of animals for scientific purposes in 2020 by 27 EU Member States & Norway. This is the first year that the UK is not included due to withdrawal from the EU.

Please take a moment to fill out this @SfNtweets survey in support of the protection of researchers working with animals, particularly NHPs. They need to hear about your experiences!
