We start into 2022 with a new episode of our DSMINDSETS Podcast!
This week, we got very interesting input from Morsal Yusoufzai. As an UM Research Assistant, she looks at the connection between boredom, aggression and self harm.
She talks about how she can objectively measure emotions like aggression using Data Science.   Also, Morsal talks to host Chang Sun about how her findings can be replicated and the ways she collects data in the first place.
In the episode, Morsal also shares some experiences about growing up and being a student in The Netherlands, having an Afghan background.
Furthermore, Morsal is a member of the UM Unlimited Network community (UnliMited is a network dedicated to, for and by students and staff with visible and/or invisible disabilities). Being diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a mental health condition that can cause unusual levels of hyperactivity and impulsive behavior) herself after finishing university, Morsal experienced "being different" in different ways, though she always tries to look at the bright side.
