Mr. Raj replied in a tweet, "This is not a single issue," financial burden "," hostile academic meeting "" stress to do office work "" tough job market "" there is no proper career guidance " It is a problem that it is spreading in many ways, such as the fact that the results obtained in a short period of academic achievement are not in accord with each other. "Instead of graduate students getting degrees in a short period of time, many heavy stresses It is a problem that we will accept it.

This is not one dimensional problem. Financial burden, hostile academia, red tape, tough job market, no proper career guidance. Take your pick.
That shorts / work put in academia is not commensurate with rewards. That is how systems crumble.

Researcher Sarah Nathan said, "Even though we are almost immersed in research, etc. for almost 10 hours without almost taking a rest, it may be pointed out by someone such as" work is too little ". Also, it may be that the research policy decided by that person is being denied. "It is pointed out that the pressure from professors and researchers who are bosses may be stressful.

I do not know - maybe being told day in, day out that the work you spend 10 + hrs a day, 6-7 days a week on is not good enough and having to defend every decision you make but never being trusted that it's the right decision.

Decent funding which runs until their subimission deadline, coupled with a culture shift to less focus on publications in certain journals defining success.

As shown in these opinions, the culture of science has problems and there is a reality that gives young researchers a strong stress. Furthermore, in the questionnaire conducted by Nature, it was also found that most of the researchers who acquired the doctoral degree are thinking about an out-of-school career. Nature seems to want to improve this situation, first of all it is that he gathers opinions on mental health problems and stress that graduate students have.
