@ThePhDPlace In MANY countries a PhD is not a job, it's further study. You have to pay tuition and don't get a salary unless you've applied for multiple grants/bursaries and if your project is funded with that included (rarer than you think) it's usually not livable - if you hate it, leave

Proud of this friend ♥️
A fascinating talk by Megan van den Berg on the invaded range of the invasive tree fern, Sphaeropteris cooperi in South Africa and on Reunion Island. The range of S. cooperi is predicted to shrink, although the degree of decline is expected to depend on climate and time.
