I have collected here links to resources to help navigate the waters of joining my team, working with me, scientific and academic careers, or academia in general. Careers in these contexts have some peculiarities and some specific challenges - I am always happy to discuss (and to learn) with students, post-docs, scientists, and faculty members. Once in a while, I also write in newspapers about careers in academia in my Medium account (in .pt) or post about that on my BlueSky account
