This is a nice article that's relevant for Post Doc Appreciation Week. Kudos to @amormino.bsky.social, post-doc in @prcpennstate.bsky.social & the EMP Lab. Paige has been a leader in mentoring grad and undergrad students, and her help and kindness is a model for building effective team science.
I wasn’t sure how to be a postdoc. Here’s how I found my way
“Maybe my identity as a postdoc was much the same as when I was a grad student: a helper,” this researcher writes
