Reflecting on Bouncing Back

• What is the difference in behavior that leads to different recovery periods?
• What’s driving those differences?

Imagine a time when you felt doubtful, unsure of your progress, or burnt out related to something important to you. It might be from a rejected manuscript, but it could also be from an unproductive meeting with your PI or a failed job search.

• How did you recover from that stressor?
• What steps did you take to recover?
• Were these constructive (did they enhance your recovery) or destructive (did they deter your recovery)?

What strategies for bouncing back have worked for you?
