Seminars and Talks

In cooperation with Desiree Dickerson, we offered a seminar in which participants could learn about procrastination loops and how to recognize them. Also, we examined the thoughts underlying discomfort that lead leads to procrastination.

Desiree Dickerson has earned degrees in neuroscience and clinical psychology. She specializes in academic’s and graduate students’ mental health as a professional counselor, where she advocates a better work-life balance in academia.

We were happy to participate in the virtual Brain Awareness Week 2021 to raise awareness for mental health related problems in academia. During our event, we gave a short presentation on the mental health crisis in academia, and briefly introduced the concept of mindfulness.

Afterwards, we invited the mindfulness expert Dr. Simon Guendelmann to present research findings about mindfulness and take us on a mindfulness journey with him.
