    A great post. It’s good to see some of the different experiences and pathways of people in research being shared and explored on this blog. No two careers are the same and many people have to go through similar decisions about moving further afield for their research work. It’s also good to see how the nature of relationships external to the research environment can impact on what decisions are made (and how, quite rightly these are factored in when thinking about the decision).

    Looking forward to reading more about your journey and best of luck Gina!

    Dear Gina,
    You and your husband will be very welcome in Brazil. But the match against Germany is only a piece of iceberg of our problems…Have a nice travel!

    Dear Gina Maffey,

    Yes, nothing comes before football. This reflects worldwide scenario of research scholars in finding a job. First of all research funding from government sector is melting down in most of the Asian countries especially in India. In addition, new industries are not coming up as the number of researchers to accommodate.
    Good decision, let us hope you will find dawn of a ‘New Sun’ at Brazil.
    I wish all the best in your career.
    Nice, write up please continue.
