Blogs 2021 - Thriving Not Just Surviving
We’re finishing the year with 5 special themed podcasts sharing some of the narrated blogs we’ve published throughout the year, introduced by Adam Smith. Our last compilation of the week has been titled Thriving not just Surviving – we had a lot of blogs early in the year sharing life during lockdown, the importance of mental health, and how, as researchers you need to have an extra level of resilience to cope with the extra challenges that come with failed applications and rejection – and how to bounce back. So today, we’re sharing a few blogs on surviving lockdown and coping with the stressors of academia. Adam Smith narrates his own blog blog titled "How to Build Resilience and Bounce Back". Beth Eyre, PhD Student at The University of Sheffield shared her tips in a blog called "Looking after your wellbeing as a PhD Student... During a Pandemic". Dr Sam Moxon, Research Associate from The University of Manchester shares his advice on "Keeping Sane in Lockdown". Morgan Daniel, now an Assistant Psychologist at UCLH shared her year as an MSc Student, this blog was one of her last during the journey "Tips for Taking Care of yourself during Gradschool".
