Let’s face it. Even the most dedicated researchers can have a tough time staying motivated, let alone over the past year when we have been forced to work from home and interact with one another in person less and less. It’s therefore even more important to keep focused on your own mental health and the well-being of your colleagues. We will walk you through ways to boost efficiency, productivity and morale by keeping yourself and your team energized, even when working from home.
