Whatever your reasons for leaving the tenure track or your PhD program (or just pondering it), you need support, dignity, perspective, a little self-knowledge, and a new network of contacts. That's where this group comes in. Doctorates without Borders holds two types of Meetups. Once a month, we meet for an Out-of-Academia Workshop, which features a self-assessment exercise and an opportunity to discuss the ins and outs of moving into non-academic employment.  …

I would personally love to see if others would find my ideas helpful, but I would also just love to hear what others are doing. I don't like to call it interfaith, because beliefs may or may not be an issu …

This is a group for learning more about treating disease and illness - no matter how severe or minor - with food and nutrition. My life has been improved incredibly by making nutritional changes to my diet. As I've learned more and more about nutrition and disease, I've discovered not only how much more there is to learn for me, but also I really wanted to share what I've learned already, and encourage this discussion to happen on a wider basis.

Laughter offers a multitude of benefits to the body and mind-- and it works even if the laughter isn't genuine.
