As we continue to find our rhythm while working from home, and try to maintain our professional lives as we physically distance from our networks, we are faced with a number of challenges and concerns. What does research look like when I can no longer access the lab? How can I be productive while shifting and dealing with new routines and responsibilities? How can I prioritize my well-being with all the stressful news? Join us for a conversation with engineering professors and a learning strategist where we will discuss effective strategies and practices for working towards your research goals, setting productivity expectations while balancing your evolving responsibilities, and making time for self-care.
