In today's episode, we interview Dr. Marissa Edwards from the UQ Business School at the University of Queensland, Australia. One of the topics she has worked on, is mental health and well-being in students and educators, which is the main topic of today's episode.

Join us to learn more about Marissa's research on whistle-blowing, medical negligence, and mental health and well-being in students and educators.  We dive deep into the topics on mental health in academia: where the current problems come from, and what we can do to improve the situation.

Finally, we learn about Marissa's best advice for PhD supervisors and PhD candidates, the influence of COVID-19 on her daily tasks, and a typical day in the life.
