Stress in biomedical research: six impossible things.
Summary of "Stress in biomedical research: six impossible things."
Biomedical research may not be more stressful than other disciplines, but our stress is compounded by some of the inherent features of biology. We consider six impossible things and what we might be able to do about them, provided they are believed by lunchtime or, with practice, before breakfast.
