🤮🤮

Congratulations, so happy for you 🥳😊

Agree, it is essential to make a good use of our negative experiences, too, and get the best out of them, turning the wheels around for new generations of future leaders 🙂

3/ Not to mention the lack of long term business strategic visions, when a leader destroys the coworkers, instead of promoting them into reaching together common, long lasting goals.

2/ It is highly underestimated how much this aspect accounts for the high rates of #brainhealth issues, causing huge financial burdens on a global scale, due to the depletion of mental resources, which have to be directed into survival mode instead of being freed to work effectively.

The Trump adminstration’s decision to end NIH-funded research on topics & populations they disfavor is reckless, illegal and WRONG. Today, we sued. Read the complaint in APHA v NIH, online now: www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Gonna keep saying this because the situation hasn’t changed:

Academic leaders — your leadership matters. Your strength. Your resilience. Your calm under duress. We trainees feel this. It inspires & motivates us to keep going. We appreciate the face you bring to lab each day. Please don’t give up.

Journal of the Academy of Public Health

This is NOT a real journal. No such thing as The Academy of Public Health. Creation of RFK et al to allow false nonscientific claims to the public to support their bias without peer review or factual data. As they now control all communications out of NIH, CDC, FDA, this is dangerous to US health.

Sexismus, getarnt als Wissenschaft Die Strategie ist alt, aber heute wieder erschreckend populär: Unterdrückung von Frauen wird mit scheinwissenschaftlichen Argumenten gerechtfertigt.

Great paper from Veronica Egger in Science shows this concept, too: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38301001/

Freedom is a precious thing we should never give for granted: once lost, it is very hard to regain it.
People are fighting hard in US against sth they could not forsee, so unbelievable as it is.
Be gentle with those who are struggling right now, support them as a community to survive these times 🤗
