Moving from a modest research laboratory to a laboratory with a prestigious research portfolio. Tips to be successful?
Along with research, work hard to make a lot of connections. Certainly connections at the new university, but beyond that through conference meetings and collaborations. Build a circle around yourself. Join the circle of other, more senior people.
Get a sense of all of the research trends around you, even if it shallow outside your specialty.
And, keep connections back &quot;home&quot;. In the future you may have an opportunity to do something good for students there as well.
