We often default to metrics like paper counts, h-index, and citations, yet these numbers can be manipulated and rarely capture the depth or difficulty of work across different fields. With uneven expectations and flawed indicators, the question remains: what really defines success for a scientist?
Changing research paths isn’t just about learning new methods, it’s about unlearning what you thought you already knew. In this story, I share what it feels like to start from scratch again, to feel lost, and to rediscover why we do science in the first place.
(This is just a place holder. We will post something worthwhile in coming days!)
