The good news first: 60 of the 82 researchers who responded (73%) describe a generally positive relationship with their PI.

But one in four has had difficulties. For most, that meant uncomfortable situations rather than open conflict.

I’ve returned to the habit of starting the day with writing - whether I feel like it or not - and I must say that it’s working 🤩 my “to write” list feels manageable again and finding the writing flow is easier.
