Dr Pavanee Angelee Annasawmy
“Navigating the world of postdocs and having a healthy work-life balance; Go after various opportunities; Never stop learning; Keep trying, do not give up (unless you believe that you have to change your career path!)“
Dr James Bell
“Be clear about what you want out of your career. […] When you’re exploring your options, take a few moments to think about the day to day life in the job (or even contact people who could tell you).“
Dr Lidia Lins
“Although the publication record is one of the most relevant aspects considered in a job, more and more attention is given to what goes beyond that. I would think the most appropriate word in this situation would be DIVERSIFICATION.“
Dr Katleen Robert
“This is YOUR career; Know when to stop; It does not get better; Fake it until you make it; Be present, don’t feel guilty.”
