I was out sick for most of last week and not looking forward to go back to the stack of stuff I missed. Any tips and tricks to catch up while not getting further behind?

I have the habit of setting up small goals throughout the day. It helps me stay focused and to have that little dopamine hit a few times a day.

Do your best to balance the backlog with the work of the day, too. I find myself always leaning towards one or the other. Blocking time for each helps keep me focused.

I hope you're feeling better! I usually just let the team know that I have a lot of catching up to do and to slack me or email me if they need anything. That way they know I'm not being antisocial, just staying focused and not overwhelming myself even more on the first few days back.

Additional Posts in Clinical Research

Hi all! I recently finished my Masters in Biology. I worked on a few studies with human subjects as well as animal work. I am hoping to get a job in clinical research as either a CRC or CRA. I previously worked at a doctors office as a care manager for 4 years, but outside of my academic work I don’t have experience in research. What advice do you all have for entering the field in my position?
Thanks!!

I’ve worked in clinical research in the academic/non profit world for the past five years. I want to transition to a role in pharma or a CRO, but haven’t been successful yet because I don’t have industry experience. Does anyone know of any CROs/pharma companies that are willing to hire someone with research expertise from an academic medical center rather than already in industry? Thanks!
