[Neuropostdocs] advice for NeuroNews

[Lilia Zurkovsky]

Hi everyone,

I'm putting together an article for the NSP newspaper, NeuroNews, and also for my own purposes as I'm about to begin a post doc, on starting a post doc life.  If/ when you have time, can you email me some notes on your experiences or answer the questions below? 

Thanks.  Mucho appreciated.

1. How did you find/ match up with your post doc advisor?  

2. Did you start applying while still in graduate school?  If yes, how did you settle on a project before starting in the lab?

3. How much time did you have between depositing your thesis and starting your post doc?

4.  What one piece of advice would you pass on to someone getting ready to start a post doc?
