Hello, dear readers!
I'm dropping by on a Friday to remind you to leave a comment on Dr. Barner's guest post from Monday, The Postdoc Journey: A Space for Radical Reflection, for a chance to win a free paid subscription to Publish Not Perish for yourself or to give away! Briana donated the guest subscription instead of keeping it as payment for the post, so take her up on the generosity! You have until Monday to enter the contest and can write anything you want.
I also want to thank Briana for her wisdom and vulnerability. As she says, not everyone has the space she had during her postdoc, but I believe those of us who don't have the opportunity can benefit greatly from her perspective. Slow productivity, rest, and reflection are things that we all need to carve out for ourselves.
Here are some previous posts I’ve written on similar strategies:

I hope you carve out some time to rest and recharge this weekend!
