Job market in academia is quite rough. Even with good papers and solid skills, nothing is guaranteed. The system just picks the top-notch and leaves many talented researchers behind. People once dreamed of becoming assistant professors, but now dream of just landing a postdoc.

Huge congratulations to Dr. Shikha Dubey on completing her PhD! One of the most hardworking and passionate soil scientists I know. Wishing you all the best for what’s ahead for you.
Finally Dr. Shikha Dubey! I want to thank my advisor Dr. Bhupinder S. Farmaha @ClemsonSoilFert and committee members Dr. Alan Franzluebbers, Dr. Michael Jones, and Dr. William Bridges for this journey. Sharing a few cotton pictures for remembering this 4.5 years.
