Burnout shouldn't be a rite of passage for academic life. That's it. That's the tweet. #AcademicMentalHealth #AcademicChatter #PhDVoice OpenAcademics

Never forget that a simple act of kindness has the power to change the trajectory of someone’s life.

The stereotype of a scientist: - He is a genius What it actually takes to be a good scientist: - curiosity - creativity - grit - resilience - perseverance - teamwork - leadership Do not let the stereotypes fool you! Science is for everyone and diversity makes us stronger

We gladly invite you to attend our second mental health event in the series "Our community, Ourselves" Title: Nurturing wellbeing in academia When: November 18th, 14:15 We will have Dear Academia, Deborah Rupert, and Frida Rångtell deborahrupert.com/dear-academia/

Academia is filled with failure, rejection, and all sorts of other nonsense. One of the most important pieces of advice I've received is to build a network of people who are ambitious but authentic, celebrate together in your successes, and support each other in your struggles.

Doing "your best" doesn't have to mean working yourself to the bone or pushing until your breaking point. Rather it means the best you can do while still taking care of yourself. Your best is better when you're healthy & at peace 🥰 #AcademicMentalHealth #PhDVoice OpenAcademics

- Know yourself so you can have optimal performance while caring for your wellbeing. - Work hard and get enough sleep, good food, exercise, and positive social interactions. - If the academic environment is pushing you towards burnout, let's start an open conversation to change

I've been thinking lately a lot about something. Doing a PhD through so many major historical events is quite hard. Specially when your mental health is fragile. Give yourself time, take a breath. There are things in life more important than work.

Today, on #InternationalWomensDay, Marta Carroni, Head of our cryo-EM Stockholm node, and Assistant Professor/SciLifeLab Fellow Anniina Vihervaara (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) shed light on some of the challenges women face in academia. #BreakTheBias #IWD2022 Women's Day

From my point of view, "celebrating women" means celebrating ALL women: trans-women, cis-women, women with different sexualities, women with disabilities, women from all races, women regardless their occupation or career, etc. Feminism must be intersectional #8M

At the end of my career, I will not care at all what my h-index is or how many papers I published. However, I will care tremendously whether I was a good mentor and had a positive impact on the lives of others. I want to live those values every day from now until then.

I'm really excited to share "Uniting diversity to create a more inclusive academic environment". Members of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion SciLifeLab (@DelemotteLab, Sarahi L.

In academia, we care more about plagiarism than bullying and racism, why?

New: My latest research finds 30 different characteristics of a woman’s identity that turned into points of criticism creating barriers to women’s success. The clear message to women is that—whatever they are—they are “never quite right.” fastcompany.com/90889985/new-r…
