Progress not Perfection
Progress not Perfection
Avoid a cycle of overwork, burnout and recovery by adopting a structured working pattern. Regular breaks and time off is an integral part of PhD strategy and a focus on daily wellbeing goals, beside our academic tasks, promotes wellbeing.
Community and Expertise
Progress not Perfection
Community and Expertise
We believe we are stronger (and happier) when we work together as a team. All our members have something to offer, and as a collective, we establish a robust knowledge base and thriving community.
Support not Criticism
Collaboration not Competition
Community and Expertise
Criticism should be constructive and suggestions for improving should be clearly laid out. Criticism without support is just criticism.
Celebrate Wins Together
Collaboration not Competition
