The Overwhelm Trap

As part of the British Neuropathological Society's ECR Neuroscience Seminar Series, Michael Coleman will discuss the overwhelm trap: a pattern of working ever harder in response to mounting pressure even though this only exhausts you and reduces your capacity, leaving the underlying problems unchanged. How can we minimise the risk and what can we do if we are already in this state?

Highly recommended: Michael Coleman was a guest speaker at our EN:PM in October 2024 where he gave a fantastic talk about failure in academia.
