If you could go back to the beginning of your undergraduate degree (that's if you're not there atm) and give yourself one piece of advice, what would it be?

To help prospective PhD students, what are some red flags to watch out for when looking for a supervisor?
And, what are some green flags?

I’m so sick of academics who make PhD students and postdocs feel bad about themselves. I see it happen frequently and it’s awful.
If you’re one of those people, please stop and consider how you can support them instead. Our early career scholars deserve better.

If Monday feels like an uphill battle, know that you're not alone.
Take a moment to breathe and remember that it's just like any other day of the week, and it's okay to not have it all figured out.
You're best is good enough.🌻

How often do we feel guilty for slowing down, for taking a moment to reassess when things get overwhelming or when we feel stuck?
Here's a reminder that it's okay to put on the brakes & take the time to figure things out.

Great mentors expand your capacity while also sharpening your focus.
They help you to see all of the things that you’re capable of doing while also helping you to choose which of those things are worth pursuing.

Let's talk about an almost unspoken issue: How many times did you almost drop out of your PhD? Why did you want to leave, and why did you stay?

Hi there! If you're struggling to get started on something, you're probably not procrastinating on it because you're lazy. Lazy is just people being judgmental about you being tired. Instead, rest. Figure out why you're actually avoiding it. Then deal with the issues.

As a woman, do you feel welcome in you department? And if not, in what ways could it improve?

Well hello! I hope you remember that one of the most revolutionary ways to take care of yourself is simply to rest. You're not letting anyone down by taking care of yourself. In fact, you'll be able to help more better because of it! It's ok to rest, if that's what you need.
