Marie Åsberg

Marie Åsberg (born 1938) is a Swedish psychiatrist. She was based at the Karolinska Institute until retirement in 2004.

In a pioneering 1976 paper,[1] Åsberg found a link between low seratonin and violent suicide.[2]

Åsberg is an expert on burnout, and the need for self-care. She has developed the concept of an 'exhaustion funnel', to illustrate the way in which preoccupations can be narrowed by over-concentration on work.[3]

gollark: *continues not being scared of giannis*
gollark: They have a regular structure, and you could store one bit per atom, which is a lot. The main problem is that you would probably need stupidly advanced technology to read and write them.
gollark: One very dense method for storing information in science fiction stuff is sticking it in patterns of isotopes in a diamond or something.
gollark: I don't think *individual* microorganisms store that much DNA (in bytes) so you would have to split it across many of them like some sort of vaguely insane RAID array.
gollark: You would also have to *catch* enough copies afterward.
