Description
Self-care with Drs. Sarah is a series of conversations between women scientists about navigating and surviving science culture.

In some episodes, we chat between the two of us about topics relevant to self-care for women scientists, and in other episodes, we interview our friends and colleagues about how they care for themselves.

We're back for Season 2! Jealousy in the academic context is *rough.* The CV is a black hole from which nothing escapes, no matter how much gets accreted. Sarah B. should have a Gmail folder called "Friends Who Achieve Things That I'm Not Achieving", then maybe she'll actually read those emails.
