We have an upcoming video on #Anxiety, but we are wondering, what are some topics you all want to see? Struggles in graduate school are not uncommon, and we want to be a resource for all! Let us know what topics interest you and how we can help. #Wellness #MentalHealth #YCA
"We should also focus on a related, widespread problem: mentors who have excellent intentions but limited knowledge of how to create a healthy workplace" 👏🏽 nature.com/articles/d4158…
Earning a PhD and then leaving academia does not make you a failure. As faculty, we need to consider whether we are the ones who are failing if all we do is self-replicate. Shouldn’t we consider it a success when people earn their PhD and use it to have impact beyond academia?
Check out this cool project our junior co-chair @tomaslagunasjr is a part of! Way to go, Tomás!
Thanks to everyone for the support of the launch of @Grad_Wellness. Time to introduce the team behind all this hard work! First up, @tomaslagunasjr a 4th year PhD student at Wash U! His research is focused on #AutismSpectrumDisorder and he is a strong advocate for #scicomm
Your Advisor, GPD, GPC and Chair are all available to help re-evaluate your approach, if needed. #graduatestudents #resources
BURNOUT: Our first video tackles a very common problem among #GraduateStudents, burnout. Watch for 60 Seconds of information, statistics, research, and solutions. Help spot signs of #burnout in yourself or others and find the #resources to help! #60SecondMentalHealth
Practice self care: eat well, exercise, get sunlight. Our brain is our most valuable asset, we have to take care of it and the body it comes with. Healthy mind and healthy body. That’s why I tell my students all the time.

3) Rewarding yourself for small (and big) victories (for me, rewarding myself with a pumpkin spice latte if I get my top 3 tasks done before lunch time ☕️) 4) Express gratitude (this promotes happiness!)
At the individual level, some tips that have proven to reduce depression symptoms: 1) Scheduling rest time throughout the day, as well as scheduling vacation time for the year (and taking these scheduled times seriously) 2) Working out (i.e., 30 minutes of exercise a day)
DEPRESSION: Our second video in our graduate student #Wellness video series tackles a tough topic, depression. Depression is more than usual sadness, & it is important to be able to identify signs & symptoms in yourself or others. We always recommend speaking with a counselor 😊
@MsC_Teaches Hello! Thank you for your support! We used the software called Wideo, which can be found here: wideo.co Stay tuned for our next video, tonight!
