 Resilience - the ability to withstand and rebound from adversity - is a positive contributor to maintaining good mental health. Resilience is often discussed as a personal attribute, yet it plays an equally important role in career navigation. [A recent Nature spotlight ](/news/nature-series-how-failure-benefits-science)drew attention to a series of articles outlining the importance and benefits of failure in science. This series also created an opportunity to discuss the prevalence of perceived failures and the many instances of these that all scientists have to overcome. This event **"CV of Failures"** was sparked by the [namesake Nature article](https://www.nature.com/naturejobs/science/articles/10.1038/nj7322-467a).

 Host: Jason Heustis (PGE)
