The transition from postdoc to junior faculty is exciting and uniquely challenging. On one hand, it allows for increased creative freedom and the opportunity to grow into an independent scientist. On the other hand, it comes with increasing administrative responsibilities, feelings of isolation, and high pressure to perform. The result is an environment that can leave very limited time for creative thinking and reflection. Here, we describe how participating in a program that allowed us to step out of our routine and work together helped us become more independent-and regain time to think.
从博士后到初级教员的转变既令人兴奋又极具挑战性。一方面，它带来了更大的创作自由，并有机会成长为一名独立科学家。另一方面，随之而来的是行政职责的增加、孤独感以及巨大的工作压力。结果是，这样的环境留给创造性思维和反思的时间非常有限。在此，我们描述了参与一个使我们能够摆脱日常工作并共同协作的项目是如何帮助我们变得更加独立，并重新获得思考时间的。
