So important...
Do you take (digital) tea breaks with your colleagues? A Nobel Prize laureate who really enjoyed his afternoon tea was physicist J.J. Thomson. Thomson was awarded the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physics for his studies of cathode rays which culminated in the discovery of the electron. When he became the leader of the research students at the Cavendish laboratory at University of Cambridge, Thomson established a daily tea time welcoming all research students for a tea break. The tea break supposedly became an important ritual during the day at the laboratory. This gave the research students an opportunity to discuss ideas freely on topics such as science and politics. Many students were later grateful for these breaks where Thomson both engaged in their research as well as in their well-being. #TeaDay

tea or coffee or just breaks are necessary. Tea breaks are necessary for mental refreshment, boosting concentration and creativity. They provide physical benefits by reducing the risk of ailments from prolonged sitting. Social interactions during breaks improve workplace morale and collaboration. Taking a break helps reduce stress and prevents burnout. Regular tea breaks contribute to a healthier, more productive work environment. #workenvironment #phdlife #teabreaks

Indeed, conversations over a cup of tea (chai) can be some of the most memorable ones. Offering your time to your coworkers as a listener, advisor or mentor over a cup of tea can be a great way to build relationships and create meaningful connections. Take a tea break and engage with your coworkers today! "Chal, chai peete hai" is the best collaboration line which can build very strong professional and personal bonds. #teabreak #workrelationships #professionalconnections #collaboration #teatime #coffeebreaks

Certified Business Professional (CBP) Programme at Indian School of Business (The views/opinions mentioned here are my personal and in no way is related to the employer I am associated with)
Did You Know ? Prof. Deepak Dhar, the first Indian honoured with the #Boltzmannmedal and the #Padma Bhushan #Awardee is an inspiration to all of us Prof. Deepak Dhar’s research in statistical #physics has brought the first Boltzmann #medal to India. He shares the coveted #honour with American scientist Prof. John J. Hopfield, who is known for his invention of an associative neural network. Prof. Deepak Dhar is a Boltzmann Medallist in the year 2022 is aslo an a Padma Bhushan awardee When asked about the significance of this accolade, Prof. #Dhar states with utmost humility, “While it is true that I am the first #Indian to win the Boltzmann medal, I am not the first person whose work in statistical physics is significant”. He emphasizes that the stellar contributions of Indian stalwarts in physics such as Meghnada Saha and Satyendra Nath Bose, while absolutely deserving, could not be decorated with awards as there weren’t any in those times. After his Master’s at #IITK, Prof. Dhar choose the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), the USA for his PhD. He remembers, #Caltech was very well known for #research in high energy #physics. I was not sure what I was going to do, but it seemed like a good place to try”. As he arrived in the foreign country, he was picked up at the airport by a local host arranged by the student welfare office at Caltech. To facilitate acclimatization, new students had to stay with the local hosts at their house for two-three days. Recalling how he struggled with the unfamiliar American accents during his early days at Caltech, Prof. Dhar shared what helped him, “I remember the very important words of my host — Don’t be afraid”. Prof. Dhar started his #PhD work at a time when the work of Prof. K.G. Wilson (Nobel Laureate, Physics, 1982), the first recipient of the Boltzmann medal in the year 1975, on renormalisation theory had just been gaining recognition. Prof. Dhar emphasizes, “Researchers were beginning to understand phase transition and were trying to answer intriguing questions. For example, why does ice turn into water on heating? What happens when two ions collide?” Smitten by such questions in high energy physics, Prof. Dhar chose to pick up phase transition studies for his PhD. His advice to students is very realistic: “You must have confidence and should be aware that while a PhD may not necessarily be your best work, it is surely a period of skilled training”. In research, one can always do better work post-PhD, so one must avoid getting trapped in any emotional anguish if their PhD work isn’t as interesting as they hoped, he insists. #India #padmabhushan #science #statistics

What a fantastic idea! Creating a virtual digital tea time for remote workers...... It is not only a creative way to foster team bonding but also provides a valuable opportunity for casual and spontaneous discussions. It adds a personal touch to the virtual work environment, allowing team members to share experiences, ideas, or even just a friendly chat, simulating the informal interactions that naturally occur in an office setting. This initiative not only promotes a sense of camaraderie but also contributes to the overall well-being and mental health of remote workers by creating moments of connection and relaxation. It's a simple yet impactful approach that can significantly enhance the team's cohesion and work culture. #remotework #newdigitalculture #inspirationalstories #mentalhealth https://lnkd.in/gUTMuae3

New post on Set Physics to Stun! This time, on a topic a bit more academic, I switch gears from the managers to the managed. I revise some recent discussions about updating the PhD assessment program. The post focuses on how this may impact students themselves, and highlight questions they may consider asking when trying to determine which program to join. Enjoy your read! https://lnkd.in/e_9qvzdE

Where has this philosophy gone? A mental break and ample time to candidly to discuss various topics and/or exchange ideas are important. These are a way to release small stresses, to pick ideas, and enhance teams. Leaders should schedule these daily. Have a ☕/🍵/🥤 #workculture #leadership #mentalhealth #innovation
