New editor-in-chief and new members of the newsletter team. By Petar Milovanovic
After three years of exceptional and devoted service by our former Editor-in-Chief, Teun De Vries, the ECTS Board has appointed me as the Editor-in-Chief of the ECTS Newsletter. I am indeed honored, and I will do my best to ensure that the ECTS Newsletter continues to deliver important and relevant information for the ECTS members.
Stay tuned, get involved, and let’s shape the future of the bone research together!
During the past several months, Nature devoted a series of articles to postdocs, with an emphasis on how they handle the current situation and how they perceive their future in light of COVID-19 crisis. These articles reported the results of Nature‘s inaugural survey of post-doctoral researchers, which attracted more than 7,600 respondents from 93 countries all over the world and inquired about the impacts of COVID-19 on postdocs. The survey was offered in English, Chinese, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. If you are interested, you can find the anonymised raw data, cleaned data analysis, and the questionnairehere.
The first article presented the discussion onhow COVID-19 has affected postdocsand their views of the future. It is also very interesting to read about regional differences but also similarities between postdocs’ concerns and challenges in the second article in the series that offered anoverview of their circumstances worldwide. The third article exploredpostdocs’ quality of life, including mental health and experiences of discrimination and harassment. The fourth article examined respondents’ sense of theircareer prospects.
