Content & Organization:
Academia is a social endeavour and it demands frequent communication, interaction and collaboration with others. At the same time, many of us find interacting with others an awkward, difficult or incredibly energy-consuming activity. In this webinar we discuss the basics of social anxiety and different strategies to reduce its effects on our work and daily interactions.

Speaker:
Desiree Dickerson PhD (https://desireedickerson.com/) is a clinical psychologist who specializes in academic mental health and wellbeing. A former researcher herself, Desiree is now based in Europe, working with leading academic institutions, lab groups, and academics themselves to promote a healthier approach to research.

She has also contributed to the dialogue on mental health and well-being in academia through recent pieces in Nature and Science on imposter syndrome, perfectionism, mental health in grad school and mental health strategies during the COVID pandemic.
