"...hidden costs..."

9 March 2020: "Ultimately, it is our responsibility as faculty members to be proactive in our pursuit of work–life balance, to seek assistance when needed and to support each other. We should work together to advocate change, starting with calling for a systematic effort to understand how the current culture, value systems and working environment are contributing to stress and the mental-health crisis in academia." --Hilal A. Lashuel, with some familiar and useful advice, in this article at Nature.com
