This is figure 2, which shows that unmarried individuals have a significantly higher risk of depressive symptoms than their married counterparts (all P < 0.01).

Unmarried people may be about 80% more likely to have depressive symptoms than those who are married, suggests an analysis of more than 100,000 individuals across 7 countries, published in Nature Human Behaviour. go.nature.com/3ADr1EJ πŸ§ͺ

Most scientists don’t enjoy writing grants. Here’s how to change that Specialists share how to make the experience more enjoyable and foster a sense of belonging. Specialists share how to make the experience more enjoyable and foster a sense of belonging.

Grant writing is hard. It’s time-consuming. It can feel isolating and can sap your motivation. For many scientists, it is their least favourite part of the job. Today in Nature, grant-writing experts offer tips to make the process more productive and enjoyable. πŸ§ͺ www.nature.com/articles/d41...
