Happy New Year friends of the Faculty Factory Podcast! With 2021 upon us, host Dr. Kimberly A. Skarupski introduces a new series here on the Faculty Factory: “Habits and Hacks from Hopkins” also known as “H3.” We are always curious how someone is so successful in our field. What are the factors associated with this person’s success in attaining grants, writing papers and making great strides in their clinical practice? We’d love to uncover some of these successful habits among our faculty and this podcast could be a great platform for sharing these habits and hacks. As you may know, this podcast started with Dr. Skarupski talking with deans and leaders in this field about their different faculty development and faculty affairs offices to explore best practices while looking to build community. Next, we introduced Faculty Factory Podcast Snippets—short, easily digestible segments of knowledge meant to provide some useful nuggets of information that faculty could listen to while on the go. Now we are entering a stage of this podcast where Dr. Skarupski will talk with faculty on their habits and hacks. She will interview them about what practices, efficient routines and ideas we could all benefit from hearing about! On today’s episode, we kicked-off this new series with Dr. Skarupski introducing her own habits. She put them into three categories: the habits of thinking, doing and being.

George S. Everly, Jr., PhD, FACLP, FAPA, joins us today on the Faculty Factory to help close out 2020 with some deeply profound wisdom on resilience and leadership. This is a very timely discussion as Dr. Everly discusses the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. He also discusses what he’s learned from studying previous pandemics, such as in Hong Kong with SARS and later H1N1 in Singapore. “The psychology of a disaster (or pandemic) can be as important as the virulence of the pandemic itself,” he said. “We have to be careful to not just focus on the virus itself, but also how people react to the virus.” Dr. Everly is a professor in the Department of Psychiatry in the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the Department of International Health in the Bloomberg School of Public Health. He’s had a long and impactful career on psychological crisis, disaster response, and resilience. He has spent more than 40 years traveling the world during his career, and has served as adjunct faculty in the FBI National Academy, FEMA, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. He is the author of over 20 books on stress, psychological crisis intervention, disaster, mental health and human resilience, and over 100 peer reviewed journal articles.
