During #PostdocAppreciationWeekAustria, our PIs @dseruggia.bsky.social and @floriangrebien.bsky.social shared their different career paths, turning points and lessons learned. 🔬 The key takeaway: There is no single path. Timing and context matter and sometimes clarity matters more than certainty. 💛
