More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @pnas.org

Our first post on Bluesky! 🎉 Newly discovered type of capillaries important for bone remodelling throughout life. Fascinating insights from Vishal Mohanakrishnan and a team led by Ralf H. Adams at the MPI in Münster published in Nature Cell Biology.
