Thanks to LS4FUTURE Associated Laboratory for the invitation to speak at Career Day 2023 - and to hear the other panelists's stories. As a side note, it was odd to learn from postdocs at the speed-dating portion of the afternoon that Portugal's government had fallen (as if they needed *more* uncertainty).
