Content & Organisation:
We sometimes worry a lot and fear that we may regret our decisions. Academia is a high-stress, high-stakes environment where resources are scarce, making every decision seem crucial and increasing the dynamics of worry. 

In this webinar, we learn and discuss :

• What is worry?
• Does it have a purpose?
• What is regret?
• What do we actually fear when we fear regret?
• What do worry and regret do to us?
• How can we better understand them to reduce their impact on our daily work and experiences?

Following the 45-minute presentation, there are 15 minutes for discussion and Q&A.

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.
