Why are so many scientists struggling with stress at work? And what can we do to improve the situation?
In this episode, we talk to Dr Déborah Rupert, certified professional coach, about well-being and stress management for scientists. Dr Rupert, who has a background in science, today works to support science innovators with knowledge and tools designed to take care of their minds and protect them from burnout.
In the conversation, we talk about the work-related stress experienced by many academia and what the root causes are. Dr Rupert then gives us some tips and shares some practical tools that can help us take care of our minds, reduce the stress levels and protect ourselves from burnout.
