Hearts & Sciences

In this episode, we explore what your dreams have to offer your research career. Drawing from historical examples and touching on neuroscience, psychology, and religious traditions, we examine how our unconscious mind can assist with career breakthroughs. I describe three distinct approaches to dream interpretation: * Freud's perspective on dreams as repressed responses to the past * Jung's view of dream characters as different aspects of oneself * Edgar Cayce's framework for using dreams as problem-solving tools Key takeaway: Our highly evolved brains spend hours dreaming each night for good reason. By paying attention to these messages from your unconscious mind, you can access deeper wisdom about your work and life direction.

How can researchers describe the impact of their work? What does community-engaged research look like, from a funder's perspective? What are private foundations looking for in research grant applications? Indiana University Senior Foundation Relations Director Cory Rutz and I discuss these topics and more in this masterclass on understanding and aligning with funder's priorities in order to amplify the reach and outcomes of your work.

What if "batshit mode" is NOT the best way to succeed in the academy? University of Houston Associate Professor Monique Mills is helping to lead a movement toward a slower, more deeply engaged approach to an academic career. Inspired by the book The Slow Professor by Maggie Berg and Barbara K. Seeber, she shares how she has downshifted her teaching, publishing, and grant writing so that she and her students can not only thrive but ultimately have a more significant and lasting impact.

Despite our hard work and accomplishments, many of us secretly fear that we don't know what we're doing professionally and any day now we'll be exposed. (Fittingly, the audio on this episode somehow reverted to an embarrassing pause and throat clearing right at the start!) My guest Peter Harrison writes about and leads workshops on this phenomenon of "impostor syndrome," and in this episode he shares what he has learned in his own career and what he recommends for releasing these fears. We discuss: * The importance of knowing and naming your skill set * Perfectionism and how it relates to impostor syndrome * Links between impostor syndrome and ADHD and autism * Middle school trauma and the message that self-acceptance is unacceptable * Identifying a "home base" of who you are as an adult Share your thoughts with us on LinkedIn!

You poured your heart and soul into a grant proposal, only to have it meet with rejection. It's brutal!! In this episode I talk candidly with Ansley Fender, a former grants consultant whose software company, Grantcycle, supports grant applicants and managers. We take a deep dive on navigating emotions and mindset around rejection, highlight practical strategies for improving your success rate, and discuss how to get more rewards from every proposal development cycle -- whether or not that project gets funded.
