Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.
Hey gang I've had to learn recently that the whole "burning out" thing is real so if you find yourself being panicked every waking second that you're not working on something, despite those seconds being very rare, you should maybe listen to the signals and take an intentional break before you crash

J'espère que nos décideurs politiques aient connaissance de ce constat vrai. Je nous invite à joindre nos revendications aux manifestations #StandUpForScience qui aura lieu en France comme soutien aux États-Unis, où tant de français ont été bien formés pendant leurs postdocs. Urgences globales. 🚨
In her Essay, Renata Basto highlights the huge budget cuts facing the scientific community in France. In response to the cuts, a group of researchers has formed the ‘Pour une Recherche d'Avenir’ initiative to secure the future of French research.
