Welcome

People from all walks of life shape the captivating world of basic research, each inspired by reasons and curiosities as diverse as the topics they pursue. Reasons can change, and curiosity can go unfulfilled. When that happens, and you find yourself at a crossroads, the stories of past travellers become essential guideposts for choosing which direction to take.

I (Panda) always imagined myself as an astrophysicist. After my PhD, I found myself at such a crossroads, and the stories of my colleagues helped me make my decision. If you feel that you may be approaching one yourself, I invite you to read these stories and perhaps discover a path that feels right for you.
