Postdoc strategy: deepening or spreading?

[@ChemistryPoetry]

Your every video gives me clarity about my PhD and postdoc plans. Thank you so much ❤

[@mrillig]

Thank you for writing; that is great to hear!

Thank you!

I’m at spreading phase! First postdoc, project designed by PI, and trying to get hand on techniques of new lab. Indeed a challenging job!

[@mrillig]

Good luck with your postdoc!

[@mrillig]

What did you do with your postdoc, or what are your plans? Are you going for deepening or spreading....both work well, as the video explains, but not necessarily equally well for everybody.

It's really a tough choice to make. There are also other factors, such as which country you want to go to, what kind of study group you want to choose and so on. I am also facing such a choice.

[@mrillig]

Yes, it is. And oh yes, as I mention in the video there are many other points to consider - including choice of country (or city). And the vibe of the lab, and cost of living, and opportunity. Best of luck with making the choice that's right for you!
