Rethinking the Research Culture | Challenges in Academia with Dr. Haage #6
Dr. Verena Haage joins us for a deep and honest conversation about the systemic problems in academia, beyond just publishing or funding.
We unpack the urgent need to rethink research culture, covering issues like:
-Burnout, mental health, and unrealistic career expectations
-The shortage of stable positions like staff scientists
-Why retreats often miss opportunities for genuine connection
Dr. Haage shares actionable ideas, such as creating peer spaces and a trust-based lab culture to rethink what mentorship and leadership should look like in modern science.
