Studies of researchers globally suggest there is a mental-health crisis in academia. Depression and anxiety are particularly acute for early-career researchers, who uproot their lives every few years, have few long-term job prospects and must cope with the relentless pressures of science’s ‘publish or perish’ culture.
Are you looking for data on gender or racial disparities in funding, best practices to host more inclusive meetings, testimonials and insights from diverse scientists, or examples of institutional actions to support mental health and well-being? Find all this and more on the searchable ALBA database of over 1000 resources, curated and categorised by topic, type and group identity.
With this database, we hope to foster an environment of awareness and learning, support individuals and organisations in their DEI efforts, and promote best practices and tools to achieve equity and inclusion.
