12- Dr Saida Caballero-Nieves- Pacing the expansion of your research group

When Postdocs transition into lectureship positions, there is often an expectation about the pace at which one owe to build a research group. Having the confidence to hold on your fire and say- hang on a minute…I just need to follow a pace that we will work for me and the way I want to be able to support my students. Well, that’s exactly what my Podcast guest did when she started her lectureship position. You will meet during this episode Dr Saida Caballero-Nieves, who is an Assistant Professor in Aerospace, Physics and Space Sciences at Florida Tech in the US.
