"Stress"

Stress is a natural part of life and in small quantities, can actually be quite helpful. But being stressed frequently, or for long periods, has a massive toll on your productivity and work quality, and of course your mental and physical health. For example, stressed PhD students display twice as many symptoms for psychiatric disorders than other people. I feel stress often and am doing my best to maintain it. It feels like a giant steam boiler with high pressure and heat about the explode at the seams. The scientist in this illustration has brought their toolkit to try and alleviate pressure by mending the pressure gauges and valves. In the same way, relaxation techniques, calming hobbies, good organisation, mental health assessments, exercise & nutritional food, good sleep, seeing loved ones and drinking a fucking good cocktail while watching Netflix are some of the equivalents for managing stress.
