Here's how you can navigate the long-term effects of burnout on your Materials Science career.
Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. As the stress continues, you begin to lose the interest and motivation that led you to take on a role in materials science in the first place. In the realm of materials science, where innovation and precision are paramount, the effects of burnout can be particularly detrimental, not only to your health but also to your career longevity and productivity.
