It wasn’t perfect — in many ways, it wasn’t even good. By the end of my graduate studies, I had hoped to be a proficient programmer and an established scientist with multiple high impact papers.

In my eyes, it was a failure.  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2018/07/09/done-is-better-than-perfect-overcoming-phd-perfectionism#more-55289" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div>

school, curricula were crowded with a large body of knowledge and countless exams. We all longed for that “A grade.” Nothing else mattered. History bored us and was a distraction to professors. Now, at a later stage in my career, I have come to grasp that history is at the heart of science and medicine because it recognises the characters and institutions that advanced science and medicine, their tragedies and triumphs.  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2018/05/15/why-the-history-of-science-and-medicine-is-important#more-55039" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div> <div

behavioural neuroscientist at the University of California, Davis, and a group of 45 other scientist-parents, have turned their frustrations into a call for action. In a paper published online Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the researchers detail the shortcomings of past conferences and offer a blueprint for making conferences more welcoming and accessible to parents of young children.  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2018/03/06/when-conferences-collide-with-family-needs#more-17031" class="more-link">Read

faculty position at a newly established college! You think you know what the job entails: teaching, research, and some administrative service. As you read job advice, you wonder why so many pieces include the phrase “survival tips.” “Surviving” was your most-commonly-used word during your PhD and postdoc. Surely, there‘s no more surviving to be had in a brand new college?  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2017/12/06/joining-a-new-college-prepare-your-superpowers#more-54145"

By some estimates, about half of all graduate students will experience psychological distress, and approximately the same number won’t finish their degree program. Academics, teaching, and research present significant challenges, and many of us turn to non-academic activities as a coping strategy. For some it’s video games, for others it’s imbibing adult beverages. For me, it’s picking 1.5 times my bodyweight off the floor in a sport that’s known as powerlifting.  <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/naturejobs/2017/11/29/powerlifting-to-a-phd#more-54129"
