Can anyone recommend anyone here to campaigns/promoted awareness for maintaining good mental health among academics?

Not for me personally, but thinking of doing a thing about it and wondering who’s out there and who’s good! #academia

I’ve been asked to do a phone interview tomorrow on ‘how the funding crisis is affecting early career academics’

Apart from ‘there are no jobs’, what else should we be saying? #academia

This is a fantastic blogpost by @patthomson.bsky.social about the mixed emotions when you do finally get an article published. I was esp drawn to this para and this is why I'm honest & vulnerable abt my challenges via my blog (and also in the imposter syndrome episode of @ecrpodcasters.bsky.social!)
