Life Skills for Young Scientists (LiSYS)
A yearlong mentorship program, January–December 2027
Life Skills for Young Scientists (LiSYS) is a yearlong mentorship program for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career researchers in any scientific field. The curriculum consists of introductions to skills that are essential, in my view, for a happy life and productive career: mindfulness, meditation, self-compassion, assertiveness, and conflict resolution. It consists of online monthly meetings, practice and reading assignments, and quarterly online retreats with guest experts.
Registration for the 2027 iteration of LiSYS is now open. You can find all the details at the new web site lisys.ing.
