Moving to an international lab can open up exciting opportunities but there’s lots to consider when planning a move abroad ✈️🌎

We've gathered advice from globe-trotting scientists on living and working away from home: ow.ly/ztKa50Wzi6R

You're absolutely right. Moving forward we will be adding alt text to all of our image uploads.

Image shows a quote from Dr Rachel Perry's guest blog: "Moving is not essential for success in science. If you have a strong publication record you will have every chance of building a great career at just one institution".

Do you have to move institutions to be successful in science? 🤔

For some scientists, like Dr Rachel Perry of Yale University School of Medicine, staying put was her best career decision! 🔬

In this guest blog she shares the benefits of laying down roots in research: ow.ly/4apu50Wsvvv
