RSVP here for the next Breakroom Talks virtual world session from Sine Wave Entertainment (a sponsoring partner to this blog), which will take place on the lonely landscape of Mars, and feature Dr. Jeevan Perera, a seasoned aerospace engineer who's led risk management for the International Space Station, Orion Spacecraft, and other space missions. His experience working with astronauts in the vast and lonely void of space gives him a unique perspective on something many of us have experienced to a lesser degree while quarantined during the pandemic:
Join us on the desolate surface of Mars for a talk with a top US aerospace engineer and mental health experts on a topic relevant to both astronauts and remote office workers: Social isolation. The anxiety and loneliness from working in isolation can be traumatizing. If left unchecked, it can lead to poor productivity, lackluster performance, and errors in judgment, with potentially significant implications. With increased numbers of companies adopting hybrid/remote work models, employee well-being and mental health are fast becoming top priorities as companies race to adapt to this new working environment. So, who better to learn from than the original and ultimate remote workers – astronauts!
He's joined by Dr. Walter Greenleaf, a research neuroscientist with Stanford University, and Dr. Stephen Goldberg, a psychiatrist with the Mental Health Association of Maryland. Go here for all the details and to RSVP.
