Science : In his Career Advice column, Chris Tachibana explores the advantages and practical challenges of spending a postdoc or sabbatical abroad. The pros outweigh the cons, according to Tachibana’s interviewees. Irene Kouskoumvekaki is from Greece and works at the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby. “Working in another country gives you ideas and experiences that you can’t get by staying in one place,” she says. Some things will be stressful, she notes, but “the excitement is bigger than any of the negatives, so just go for it.”
