Thanks so much Vikki for the wonderful chat! I also recommend listening to other episodes of her great podcast.

😊 How my definition of success has changed. Rather than measuring my achievements in terms of publications and research grants, being successful today means looking my health, getting enough sleep, and spending time with my loved ones.

💗 The importance of self-compassion and treating yourself with kindness and grace

🛑 Why we need to protect PhD scholars from bullying and exploitation, and stop rewarding supervisors who do this

😢 Why student evaluations of teaching can be damaging and actively harm mental health

🎓 The @voicesofacademia.bsky.social blog with the fabulous @zjayres.bsky.social and the importance of listening to those of us with lived experience

I also discussed:

📚 The Research Handbook of Academic Mental Health (co-edited with Angela Martin, Lauren Cox and Neal M. Ashkanasy) and why universities need to make significant structural and cultural changes to protect and support employee mental health
