More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24ā¦ @PNASNews -> nature.com/articles/d41586-0ā¦ #ScienceCareer
