Many scientists move multiple times throughout their careers, sometimes beginning with leaving home for university, or perhaps for a Ph.D., postdoc, or position at a university, governmental organization, or industry. These moves may be domestic, but are also oftentimes international. The experiences resulting from relocation can have both positive and negative aspects, but are often necessary in order to establish oneself as a scientist.
