Dear Ann and Colleagues, Thank you for your initiative - this is very thought-provoking. This is an important issue for people at all stages of their careers, and it certainly should prompt colleagues to think how they engage with and support each other. My colleagues and I conducted some research on this a few years ago, including how doctoral students coped with loneliness. Our findings echo the observations made by you and Chelsea. This is the paper we published: Janta, H., Lugosi, P., & Brown, L. (2014).
