Today’s seminar reminded us how crucial mental & physical health are in academia. Creating a safe space to discuss challenges, share experiences, laugh and support each other makes all the difference. Let’s keep the conversation going! 💙 #AcademicLife #MentalHealthInAcademia

More and more voices in academia are choosing balance, kindness, and boundaries.
The culture is shifting—and you're part of it.
It’s okay to work hard and take care of yourself.

Ever feel like you're the only one not moving fast enough? Like somehow everyone else cracked the code and you're still loading? Yeah, same. Just a reminder: feeling behind doesn’t mean you actually are 💬💭

CRITIQUE WITHOUT ERASURE | PART 02

Who remains visible after years of critique, pressure, and institutional filtering?

Some adapt. Some leave. The survivors become the sample. The people who left are missing from the evidence.

Struggling mentally in academia unfortunately is a thing.. Affecting anyone, from student to PhD to professor, it's time to start talking about our imposter feelings, the self-doubts. We need to start creating spaces where we can talk about it. We are not alone with this!!

Mental health is not separate from academic work. It shapes how we learn, engage, and grow. We need to foster a research culture that supports both progress and the wellbeing of those driving it.

It’s tough not to compare yourself to others—especially when it feels like you’re falling behind.

I hope that this might help reframe that feeling. You’re doing better than you think.
