Pursuing a career in science often involves challenges and setbacks that are mentally demanding. While we all grow and learn from these setbacks, the main experience at the time is pain. But it's crucial to distinguish pain from suffering. Pain might be an inevitable part of growth and learning, but suffering—deeper distress that's often a consequence of pervasive issues like burnout and imposter syndrome—is not necessary and should be quarantined. In fact, we could argue that suffering is a barrier to growth because it's an avoidable burden on your mental energy. On the other hand, suffering can build resilience, which is an immense personal asset. So the relationship is not so simple. In this episode, we think about how scientists can get through pain without succumbing to suffering and consider, if pain is taken to be granted, how much is actually helpful?Watch or Listen to all episodes of The Happy Scientist podcast here: <a href="https://thehappyscientist.bitesizebio.com">https://thehappyscientist.bitesizebio.com</a>#Podcast #BitesizeBio #TheHappyScientist
