    The dark side of academic passion: competition vs. cooperation.

    With professor Johan Braeckman. Since stakes are high and job opportunities are limited, competition is inherent to academia.

Johan Braeckman approaches the balance between competition versus cooperation from an evolutionary perspective. Competition can be stimulating to achieve higher goals, but is it always healthy? This episode highlights both sides of competition and digs deeper into the advantages of cooperating. If you cannot beat them, should you join them?

    No one is an island: about loneliness and building bridges.

    With professor Piet Bracke. Nowadays, our society tends to be individualistic and a lot of our jobs are solitary. As a researcher, you are probably working alone a lot as well. Does this automatically mean we are feeling lonely? This episode focuses on the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, on how to connect with others and how maintaining a social network is hard labour. Building profound connections may even be more challenging for international researchers. Piet Bracke also talks about homesickness, friendship and how everyone has a certain amount of social energy.

    It's OK not to be OK: on the importance of mental wellbeing.

    With professor Gwendolyn Portzky. In this episode, Gwendolyn Portzky and host David Chan attempt to break the taboo about mental health. The interaction between thoughts, emotions and behaviour, as well as common signals of mental difficulties are discussed. The biggest taboo would be having suicidal thoughts or tendencies. Approximately 1 out of 10 people experience suicidal thoughts at some point in their life, so it is not an uncommon phenomenon. Gwendolyn stresses the importance of talking about it and also gives tips to start a conversation. Steven Laureys testifies about the way he takes care of his mental wellbeing via mindfulness. As a bonus, there is a small meditation exercise guided by Steven himself at the end of the episode.
