The Happy Scientist – Détails, épisodes et analyse

#74 — How we feel about completing certain tasks and the people they involve have a massive impact on whether or not we do those tasks or how quickly and carefully we get them done.

You know—when a job involves dealing with that person, sending that email, or dealing with that instrument. Or when your stress levels build up so much that you lay out a heap of things you want done and tell everyone involved in an ill-tempered way.

And we all respond differently to people who nag, condescend, and micromanage—and most of us will put off situations that risk showing gaps in our abilities, even if it's to our detriment. The combination of these ultimately dictates what makes it onto our to-do list.

But should they?

What would happen if you could become aware of these often rational but unhelpful emotional responses?

Could it make you more productive, more dependable, and more influential? Would it give you the experience and confidence to handle uncomfortable situations?

In this episode of The Happy Scientist, we examine how our feelings about completing certain tasks impact our planning process and to-do list and explore the helpful traits we can gain by moving past these feelings.

#73 — Why do you do science?

Is it your passion, is it to make an impact, is it just the way you make your living, or something else?

Whatever the reason, having a clear sense of your purpose matters.

It can help you deal with major and minor challenges, cope with setbacks, and help you reflect on the professional success and value of your career choices to sustain your development.

Or perhaps you feel dispassionate about doing science. And if you do, is it just a temporary phase or a sign that your current role is somehow misaligned with what you want from life?

In this episode of The Happy Scientist, we'll explore how being clear on your reasons for doing science can make you happier, wiser, and better at it.

#59 — “It’s always been done that way.” Maybe that works for double-entry accounting (which hasn’t changed in a thousand years), but not in the lab. We humans may love the security of things we can count on, things like protocols and management, axioms and HR. But you are a scientist, and curiosity and discovery define your world. So buckle up: we are going after the status quo.
