Learn when — and how — to say no in your professional life
Science
Early in Leah’s career, she said yes to absolutely everything. Review this paper? Yes, sounds interesting! Give this presentation? Ooh, yes please! Serve on this time-intensive committee? Happy to help! Take part in an uninteresting activity in another country at a highly inconvenient date and time? Sure, why not? Whether caused by a combination of excitement about being a part of the field or an aversion to letting people down, she simply did not know how to say a simple word: “No.”

3 tips on how to stand out in a January job search
Forbes
January is usually one of the best months to launch a job search because many companies begin a fresh and more aggressive wave of hiring in January to match the business plans they set for the new year.
In addition, unlike a fall job search that is sandwiched between job market slowdowns over the summer and holiday season, starting your job search in January gives you several months to make progress in networking and interviewing without losing momentum.

As a grad student struggling with mental health, I learned to ask for help
Science
Angela Q. Zhang writes:
“Are you OK?” my principal investigator (PI) asked me. I had just broken down crying in his office during one of our meetings. “It doesn’t seem like you’re OK.” He was right. But I wasn’t ready to be vulnerable with him, so I evaded the question. Later, I wondered why. When I mentor undergrads, I make a point of connecting with them on a personal level and reaching out to them when they seem to need help. For the past year, I had been yearning for someone to do the same for me.
