Episode Synopsis

In today's episode, we take a deep dive into the topic of research in difficult times. We look at how COVID-19 has impacted our research and how we work - a topic we've also previously discussed with our guests on the podcast. We discuss what worked to keep going, or how to keep doing some work in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our best advice for dealing with difficult times is:Learn to take stock of the situation and acknowledge the difficulty of the situationPractice self-compassionLean on the support that others can provide youActively reach out to others to check in and see how they are doingWe round off our recording with some speculations on what the future of (tele)work may look like.ReferencesEva's course on research in difficult timesPhD research in difficult timesLife in times of COVID-19 in EcuadorSupporting PhD candidates during COVID-19COVID-19 and researchChallenges and opportunities for international researchers during COVID-19Born to run - Christopher McDougallSelf-compassion and diet researchMore research on self-compassion
