The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) is a widely used self-report measure of subjective well-being, but studies of its measurement invariance across a large number of nations remain limited. Here, we utilised the Body Image in Nature (BINS) dataset-with data collected between 2020 and 2022 -to assess measurement invariance of the SWLS across 65 nations, 40 languages, gender identities, and age groups (N = 56,968). All participants completed the SWLS under largely uniform conditions.

An individual's insights for success during an academic career are enhanced by observing successful long-term career academicians and staff members within our colleges/schools of pharmacy and across the academy. What are the reasons for these individual's success? Based upon observing these successful individuals, we propose five simple insights that can aid in navigating organizational subcultures and cultures. These insights include knowing their WHY, utilizing the 24-48-hour rule to maintain resilience, demonstrating basic courtesy and politeness in their interpersonal interactions, recognizing the impact of words in written communications, and optimizing the use of communication methods beyond email and text messages.

How might members of a large, multi-institutional research and resource consortium foster justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion as central to its mission, goals, governance, and culture? These four principles, often referred to as JEDI, can be aspirational-but to be operationalized, they must be supported by concrete actions, investments, and a persistent long-term commitment to the principles themselves, which often requires self-reflection and course correction. We present here the iterative design process implemented across the Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen) that led to the development of an action plan to operationalize JEDI principles across three major domains, with specific deliverables and commitments dedicated to each. Active involvement of consortium leadership, buy-in from its members at all levels, and support from NIH program staff at pivotal stages were essential to the success of this effort.
