The ASLO Early Career Committee Presents:

Voices for Well-being in Aquatic Sciences: Navigating Uncertainties in Research

Please join the ASLO Early Career Committee (ECC) for their next installment in the “Voices for Well-Being in Aquatic Sciences” webinar series on Tuesday, 5 September 2023 from 10:00 – 11:30 am EDT (14:00 – 15:30 UTC; 16:00 – 17:30 pm CEST). The session “Navigating Uncertainty in Research” will be led by Dr. Desiree Dickerson and will explore how to effectively manage the complexities of the contemporary research landscape.

Academic life is a precarious one for many. Contracts are short-term, mobility is expected, and the future feels outside of our control. We are forever facing new challenges and constant change. Arguably, that is part of what we love most about academia, the environment and our understanding are forever evolving (as they should). But over time, the uncertainty and instability of the situation can take a toll. Worry, doubt and fear can begin to settle in.

More about the session:

In this webinar, we will explore how to:

• Give yourself permission (to be where you are and feel what you feel!)
• Make micro-changes to maintain a solid emotional and mental foundation.
• Navigate uncertainty and worry.
• Recognize the controllable from the uncontrollable and learn where to spend your emotional and mental energy.
• Fill your bucket when life is constantly emptying it.
