A term at the museum

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Career paths, Communication, Perspectives, Scientists on the move

A term at the museum

Earlier last year, I attended the Week of International Scientific Talent in Paris, and found that museums can be excellent platforms for scientists eager to apply scientific knowledge outside of their labs. Curious to learn more about this avenue of science communication, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there is growing interest in applying scientific concepts to museum settings.  Read more

Coming to the US for a postdoc? – If I had known, part II

Coming to the US for a postdoc? – If I had known, part II

Like many other European researchers, I moved to the US for my postdoc.  While some stay in the US, and others return to Europe after their postdocs, I’m almost certain that anyone who has followed this path will have encountered a few shocks along the way. Choosing the right fit for your postdoctoral training is just as important to choosing the right lab for your PhD. Based on my experiences, here is a list of the things that I think are worth checking in advance to avoid thinking “I wish I had known” too often.  Read more

Women in science: Fight the brain drain

Last week, Julia Etulain was sitting in a lobby of a hotel in Paris, far from her hometown of Buenos Aires, Argentina. She explained her research energetically, occasionally apologising for near-perfect, short-sentence, staccato English.  Read more

Tracking down the holy grail of academia

Having been awarded a faculty position at the University of Colorado, newly minted assistant professor Kate Smith is preparing to move from to the US from the UK. Here, she describes her experience of tenure interviews, how to maintain a passion for research and, crucially, how to find the elusive off-switch from science.  Read more

On the move

Yet researchers move routinely – in the midst of their PhD programme, for a new postdoc or another fellowship, for the next new position. Science is a mobile enterprise and if you haven’t moved lab or country yet, it’s likely to be in your future.  Read more
