Emotions and feelings in neuroscience education across career stages: a qualitative study with views from alumni, junior and senior academics
This work epitomises the importance of exploring emotions and feelings in neuroscience education. Talking more openly about emotions and reducing the pervasive narration of 'success stories' might be directions to follow, along with stressing the importance of cultivating self-efficacy, trust and gratitude since the early stages. Meetings between students and supervisors can play a key role in developing self-trust among the students. More focus should be placed on supporting the transition process between postgraduate studies and the subsequent steps of the academic ladder.
