Background: Mid-career nurse scientists in academia face many challenges that can lead to burnout and exiting the profession. Finding ways to increase satisfaction and support will help retain these critical faculty in research positions.
Purpose: Describe areas of satisfaction and challenges to success in the faculty role for mid-career nurse scientists in academia.
Method: Cross-sectional, descriptive. A total of 65 self-identified mid-career nurse scientists completed an online survey.
Findings: Mid-career nurse scientists were most satisfied with their role at their organization, least satisfied with time for research and opportunities to receive mentoring. They felt moderately supported by colleagues and deans, least supported by their ADR. Differences in satisfaction among nurse scientists in different levels of research institutions were noted.
Discussion: Challenges to success in mid-career nurse scientists exist. Loss of nurse scientists at mid-career threatens to undermine the knowledge base of the individuals who mentor the next generation of scientists. The discipline must support mid-career scientists in their efforts to be successful in research.

Background: The recent wave of clinical trials of psychedelic substances among patients with life-limiting illness has largely focused on individual healing. This most often translates to a single patient receiving an intervention with researchers guiding them. As social isolation and lack of connection are major drivers of current mental health crises and group work is expected to be an important aspect of psychedelic assisted psychotherapy, it is essential that we understand the role of community in psychedelic healing.

Publication of articles in international scientific journals has been one of the main strategies for the communication of scientific findings and ideas. Prepublication peer review is a fundamental aspect of the publishing process in indexed scientific journals and, associated with the large growth in journals and articles, there has been a recent challenge in having adequate peer reviewers for international journals. In this article, we provide a short overview of the publishing process, give recommendations to early career researchers about writing peer reviews of adequate quality, and discuss some possibilities for the future.
