In this episode of the Offspring Podcast, Srinath and Niko talk to Dr. Paula Stephan, a professor of economics at the Georgia State university. Her research concerns the career outcomes of early career researchers and how research assessment is performed.  We discuss how research is assessed currently, the different models of evaluating research and the past and present scenarios for PostDoc life in the United States of America.
