| Jun 19 at 17:45 | comment | added | postdoc | @quarague - I'm in mechanical engineering. What best describes my research is indeed "everything I need for good research is inside my brain" (and in computational resources ;)) What changes in terms of expectations between experimental vs. theoretical research? | |

| Jun 17 at 17:21 | comment | added | Jon Custer | @Aruralreader - to be fair, it sounds like their PI also chose to skip at least one crucial conversation when they started work. I always made it clear to new postdocs what the group's expectations were to begin with. | |

If you are in an experimental lab science where as a postdoc you are still part of some professors lab this is very different to being in pure maths or the humanities where almost everything you need for good research is inside your brain. | |

| Jun 15 at 15:58 | comment | added | A rural reader | I’d say your issue stems from favoring SE posts over crucial conversations with your PI. | |
