The COVID-19 pandemic has turned our world upside down, and racial injustice and political divides have further shaken us. Crises like these exacerbate underlying mental health conditions, instigate new ones and make it hard to focus. We feel lost without our routine schedules, and we feel like failures as we struggle to meet our typical levels of output. But there is hope - we can work individually and together to build resilience and take care of our mental health while pursuing our personal and professional goals. Join Dr. Brittany Uhlorn from PhD Balance to kick off this wellbeing week with a discussion on supporting your mental health during these trying times. Co-sponsored with the Biotechnology Training Program (BTP).

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered our study habits, writing schedules, and even our approach to attending classes and completing coursework. This semester, we’ll continue our themed, open conversations to discuss working from home, remaining consistent, and sustaining a healthy work/life balance. Chat with other graduate students as we share ideas and figure out how to thrive and succeed in this new normal.
