What People are Saying

“Informative, engaging, and empowering. It offers very easy steps to take in difficult situations as well as provides resources.” 

“Great to learn what is actually already harassment and how some of the things that already seem "normal" are not acceptable.” 

“Great insights into good practices and measures that institutes can take to counter harassment - and tips on what junior researchers can do themselves to get help and to break the taboo and talk about mental health, power abuse, and discrimination.”
