My husband did some trailing, including having to find a postdoc in the city that had hired me, upon arrival. It was scary. The thing that helped was knowing beforehand that there would be many options.

They don't have to come from the same place as you, they only need to be as outsider as you are.mathgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641041257943155537noreply@blogger.com
