question for ultrasound users 🐦🐦 - has anyone successfully mounted a mirror at 45 degrees on the stabilization headset so that the front-facing camera gets a front and side view of the mouth? (paging @awrench.bsky.social @samkirkham.bsky.social and sorry to anyone I am forgetting)

👇🏻In academia this is very common. People feel flattered or obliged when they are asked to be part of a project, give a talk, write a chapter ... What is often not part of the thought process is their own wellbeing. Why do so many academics ignore that they are the most important person for themself?
My toxic trait is saying yes to things I have the ability to do, without considering if I have the time, energy, or motivation.

The nicest thing you can do if asked to review a paper to say yes (and do the review). But a very very close second is to say no as quickly as possible and to suggest another person or two who might say yes.

The University of Sydney is recruiting senior and mid-career academics "within the top 5–10% of academics in their field, with a strong track record and availability to relocate to Australia within 6-months".
If you're a psychologist/neuroscientist and are interested, get in touch with me soon.
