Local news that cannot be seen anywhere else . This is the 6th Python captured in the last few months by local authorities. What is going on guys . Where are they coming from and why now .
A vast majority of cats and dogs has been fully wiped out in our area . If there are some neglected land / abandoned houses please be aware . Had atleast 4-5 pythons caught in the last 6 months alone .
I have seen a neglected land with overgrown vegetation in that area . The owners neglect has possibly turned that area into a snake park. How can a concerned Thalasserian deal with this situation while the owners cannot be contacted. Nattukar edapedenda samayamayi.
Ours as well as neighbors’ cats have gone missing for the last several weeks . Looks like too many enemies for a small humble animal. Anyone else experiencing this phenomenon.?
Recently pythons were captured around this location but not sure if it has to do anything with missing cats .
Also a rise in stay dog population is something to be taken into account.
A lot of people want to transition into a high paying industry job . However, visa requirements restricts the hiring of international applicants. In US, 0-1 visa being an option, we find very less employers willing to do visa sponsorship when it comes to industry . This makes US options extremely difficult for a well trained postdoc . However, whether there are options available in Europe , Australia , etc is something people would like to explore . Anyone with experience please do share with the ambitious postdocs looking to transition .
This is a question in the minds of a lot of people as they have to also support their family. Usually stipend has to be designed based on the cost of living in that particular city making it reasonably comfortable. However for some universities they don’t even consider that . Nobody wants financial stress to add to the other existing challenges.
You can share your experiences so that it will help people in deciding where to apply . Researchers beyond postdoc can also contribute to this discussion. A lot of people are interested in this topic .
According to me , do not apply places include - UK ,Sweden , cities like California , New York, Toronto if you are interested to have some savings. Also that you don’t want to live in a tight space with no place for anything. It is sometimes not just the stipend amount but also expenses like the tax , health care coverage, rent, commute, etc to be taken into account .
I am curious to know about rest of Europe , Australia and NZ .
After postdoc, I had been exploring academic positions . This is Something I had been seeing in Australian job sites . Is this same as research scientist in the US and research associate in Canada ?
Anyone in this position ?
