While we take a temp. break from producing new articles, we will be recapping all those from series 2
Take a look at all the pieces we have online. They could be a great resource to help you, if you need it.

After 4.5 years we have taken the decision to shut Inside Academia down (our talks will continue).
Operating a 1 person voluntary venture has been a lot (a lot) of work, but I hope that we managed to improve the culture around mental health in academia
We hope to be back soon!

This sort of thing troubles me, a fair amount
The focus of a post doc, PhD, MSc, or any research, should not be papers. Research is about discovery, trial & error, troubleshooting &, most importantly development & learning
Focus on those, and inevitably the papers will follow…

Change is happening (I think, I hope), but is it happening quick enough.

Not too sure I am fond of the terminology, but the idea that academics/researchers are taking back control of their work-life arrangements is great.

A lot of comments in this thread.
Personally, I think ‘paying’ PhDs a non-living amount of money is one of the more serious problems within the system.
Bare in mind. PhDs will be expected/required, to do teaching, marking etc & won’t be paid a penny for it…
6 Mar 2022
Paying PhDs £10k a year and expect them to work, do research, get papers out, teach, ‘engage’, and finish in 3y is simply everything that’s wrong with academia.
PhD candidates are skilled individuals, pay them fairly for their time and skills.

Awesome illustration on the salary of PhD students. Nordic countries provide the best living conditions to PhD students!
We need to provide ideal living conditions to these talented people worldwide, not just in a few countries!

A fantastic summary plot about the average PhD salary, cost of living and their ratio for different countries.
Unsurprisingly in Spain (and in many other countries) a PhD stipend is below the cost of living.

… and people wonder why PhDs are so stressful and pressurised? Part of the reason being that the majority of researchers are struggling to live, let alone do work.

We are always here to offer support. Academia (and life) can be a very harsh and fragile place at times. Speaking and talking about what you’re going through can help. Enormously!

As we head into another uncertain period, a reminder of how fragile life can be, how important it is to talk & how big a part we all play in supporting those around us
If anyone needs support or just to talk, I’m always free to chat! Just drop me a message
