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. A mental-health crisis is gripping science — toxic research culture is to blame
nature.com
Nature - With researchers reporting high rates of anxiety and depression, calls are growing to fundamentally change science before it’s too late.

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. Fed up and burnt out: ‘quiet quitting’ hits academia https://t.co/QK82nONDkG

Nature - Many researchers dislike the term, but the practice of dialling back unrewarded duties is gaining traction.

Academia’s culture of overwork almost broke me, so I’m working to undo it
nature.com
Nature - For young immigrant women like me, the pressures of early career research are even greater than for most. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

I am t-minus 2 months until PhD submission. Still my final discussion & conclusion chapter to go but seems to be taking shape. Is that enough time? Any tips for dealing with the stress & workload involved? @AcademicChatter @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice @InsideAcademic #academictwitter

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…
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. #AcademicChatter

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! #phdlife #PhD
@InsideAcademic @AcademicsSay
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. #phdchat #PhDVoice #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
