Fascinating prog where one influencer sued another. The one being sued has literally said she doesn’t need to check things are true before sharing them and this is a key problem of why it’s so hard to believe anything on Social Media

I think the worst part of this last year and a bit is how utterly lost and useless I feel. I feel like I have no home or purpose in the research world and it’s really difficult to see a positive future in academia

Loss of specialist unit will 'profoundly damage' health research in Scotland Staff are concerned that many more impactful research units will follow suit.

Here retaining a number of staff permanently actually means 11 grade 8+ and actively excluding those further down the chain from the process www.heraldscotland.com/news/2472236...

Thank you! I really appreciate you taking time to respond. I love research. I’m just disillusioned with everything that surrounds it just now! I had a mentor recently and was feeling more positive but then things happen and the confidence goes again

You can be kind and compassionate AND successful. Remember, in lifting others, we rise ourselves.
