So as I’ve said, I got my PhD in developmental psychology in the UK, my area of research is autism and trauma. I’ve been in the UK for around 8 years with my Masters, PhD, and graduate visa. My visa comes to an ends in August 2027. My current contract ends in Feb 2027 and there’s no possibility for that to be extended, I have a funding application going in soon but the start date is August 2027.

My question is basically how hard is it to transition from academia from the UK back to the U.S.? It seems like I don’t have a lot of options for staying, if I’m out of a job in Feb 2027. What’s the research climate like in the U.S.? Is it feasible for me to try and get a postdoc position in the U.S., if I need to?

I (31F) have a wedding coming up in two weeks and my hairdresser can’t fit me in until the week after. I’m a brilliant blonde in my soul but my natural hair says otherwise. I have slightly shorter than collarbone length at the moment and about an inch of regrowth.

I have tried to look on Pinterest but all of those models are thick hair queens and sadly I don’t have the volume for that. My hair doesn’t curl very well or hold much shape at all, especially in the heat!

I’m very new to having shorter hair (I did the big chop earlier this year due to my hair being super unhealthy), so any recommendations for hairstyles to help hide regrowth or ideas on where else to look would be helpful!
