Max Planck Survey 2022:
"most postdocs report to be at least moderately happy (83%)... [Yet] 55% of postdocs report at least mild depressive symptoms & 48% have at least mild anxiety. >1 in 5 postdocs show signs of moderate to severe clinical depression... mothers are most unhappy, depressed, anxious, stressed by care work & their work as postdocs. They report more personal conflicts... & are most socially isolated"

A project I started working on over 5 years ago completed a milestone today (paper accepted at Ling&Phil 🎉). It feels like such an era... two academic moms on two continents, meeting weekly when possible, often late at night (for the European) or in odd places (for the USian - even in a driving car!), interrupted by children’s illnesses or our mismatched academic schedules, by academic precarity, a pandemic, and a war. #slowScience #academicParents

I just want one tenth of my toddlers energy on a given Sunday evening when he is supposed to go to bed and it would be enough to finish my dissertation (and probably write a new proposal), I am sure. #academicchatter #academicparents #PhDlife

Mit #Vereinbarkeit von akademischer und #Care-Arbeit ist es nicht weit her, wenn Schulferien ständig in den Vorlesungszeiten liegen, dort aber Urlaub gesetzlich verboten ist. 🤷 Das muss besser werden in #NRW! ✊ Wer unterstützt diese Petition? 🙏 Vielen Dank! ❤️ #AcademicParents

Last week I was almost the only one in the large workshop consistently wearing a mask indoors 😷 , reasoning that even without Covid, I just *cannot* deal with a cold or flu anymore this winter.
Guess whose daughter reports that "my two best friends are both really sick with the flu and my throat feels kind of sore" 🤦‍♀️ #vectorOfInfection #academicParents

@KamerlinLab yes!!! Especially since everyone who has no kids or at least older ones is back to full steam and if you have a little one <5y, >1y you are still somewhere in a mess (maybe not as bad as 2020/03…) - try jigsaws - these were a gamechanger for me when she was ~2/2.5… because it gives you 15‘ slots :) #academicparents #womeninstem

still trying to find my way around here, but I guess its a good moment to start with #introducion. I am a midwife, mum of boys (or dragons, sometimes I dont see the difference!) and always a feminist. 🇪🇸 on passport, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 by choice. Lecturing at RGU and PhD-researching UK midwives views on #freebirth. looking forward to connect with #PhDmidwives, #midwives in general, #academicparents, and anyone interested in #qualitative research, especially #creativeMethods around using #emojis . hello everyone!👋🏼
