Understand the sacrifices that are so commonplace in this workforce, and realize that focusing on postdocs is only a fraction of the population. Research staff, adjuncts, visiting assistant professors, and many more comprise the temporarily employed and underpaid in higher ed.
Falling behind: postdocs in their thirties tire of putting life on hold. Read the results of Nature’s second global survey of postdoctoral researchers
