Life outside the lab is just as important as the work we do inside it – The Babak Lab
Maria Babak, Head of Drug Discovery Lab at City University of Hong Kong, shared a post by , on LinkedIn:
“Jemma Arakelyan perspective on the importance of stepping away from the lab to reconnect with nature resonates deeply with me. As scientists, we often get so immersed in our work that we forget how essential it is to pause, reflect, and recharge. Her reminder to embrace balance is something we should all take to heart — because sometimes, the best ideas come when we allow ourselves the space to breathe and explore beyond our usual setting.”
“Today, we’re shining the spotlight on one of our amazing lab members, Jemma Arakelyan, who reminds us that life outside the lab is just as important as the work we do inside it. Here’s what she shared:
“Escaping into nature has become my go-to way to refresh my mind and boost productivity! There’s something incredibly rejuvenating about the great outdoors.
Hiking, in particular, is my favorite activity. Whether it’s a challenging trail or a peaceful walk through the woods, I always return feeling inspired and ready to tackle whatever comes next.
Nature reminds us to slow down and appreciate the beauty around us, which often leads to new ideas and perspectives.”
So, let’s take a page from Jemma’s words and make time to step away from the bench. Who knows? Your next big idea might come to you on a trail, by a lake, or under the stars. “
