Unmasking mental health issues faced by scientists- Addressing the silent pain among us

This podcast, adapted from a webinar co-organized by AAAS/Science magazine and Fondation Ipsen, seeks to address the issue of mental health in the scientific community  candidly and openly. It is critical that scientific leadership and  mental health professionals recognize that scientists, like all members  of society, deserve the freedom to have mental illness recognized and  treated without fear of repercussion or stigma. It is essential for the  scientific community to show compassion and support to all of its members who are enduring mental illness, from undergraduates to  professors.
