Mondays can be a lot, especially when your to-do list seems endless.

This week, instead, why not list everything you've accomplished & have a “DONE” list by the end of the week?😊

Trying your best looks different every day, but that doesn't mean you didn’t give it your all. You sure did!

On some days, just showing up and getting through is a win.🌻

It's perfectly okay to say no to an interesting opportunity if you don’t have the time, energy, or if it means sacrificing your personal time. 💯

You’re allowed to say ‘no’ even if your reasons don’t make sense to others.

If you're having a tough Monday, know that a bad day does not erase all the progress you've made.

Here's to a better rest of the week.🌻

Balancing #AcademicLife & parenting is no easy feat.

There's an urgent need for more institutional support to ensure researchers don’t have to compromise on their responsibilities.

Here’s a look at how those in academia are navigating this balancing act: https://t.co/Yba1D5dZoa

We’re usually good at setting goals and even better at being hard on ourselves when we fall short.

This is your cue to take a moment to recognize and celebrate all your wins, big and small.💚

Task paralysis can happen to the best of us and can be overwhelming, especially with endless deadlines and an overflowing to-do list.

@crazyheadcomics has some great suggestions to help deal with it!🌻

When you sit down to write, what’s the one thing you absolutely can't do without?✍️

Whether it’s your favorite writing nook, your playlist, or a go-to snack, what helps you stay focused and productive?

Hey #futurePIs and #newPIs! 🎉 Stefanie and I are thinking about designing a workshop to tackle three of the biggest challenges that #newPIs face.

- How to recruit the right people to support your research program?
- How to manage your budget and make sure you don't run out of money?
- ⁠How to meet productivity expectations when you already have more work than time?

We're planning on co-creating something amazing with you that helps you dodge the biggest pitfalls and get your new lab off to a flying start! 🚀

Interested? Drop a "Yes" in the comments! Know someone who might be? Tag them below! Can't wait to hear from you all! 🙌

If you could change one thing about the current education system, what would it be and why?

Sometimes, the fear of missing out or letting others down can make it challenging to decline opportunities.

Here's a way to rethink saying "no" if you struggle with it.

If more and more #phd students are asking for help and #support, it speaks itself for the need of changing the current #research env.

We can't just ignore them saying "they are just lazy" or "there are no good PhD students anymore".

We often wait until we reach the threshold of complete exhaustion to take a break.

Here's a reminder to look out for cues from your mind and body telling you to slow down, and most importantly, listen to them.💚

@ABCole25 There are so many people actively contributing to making academia more inclusive, supportive, and empathetic - we appreciate them so much!

And it's always so good to see more people joining in on it!😊

What’s one thing you wish academic supervisors/PIs/mentors understood about being a new PhD student?
