While I generally agree that moving should not be necessary, it should be encouraged. Exchanges of ideas between universities is a key element in how we consider research nowadays, and it’s mostly achieved by people physically traveling from one place to another.
Yeah, I don't mind it in theory, but I am facing this wall right now and because I am older and I really injured my foot, moving is a lot harder. It's given me another perspective, and I think we lose a lot of good minds this way. You basically almost have to move now and it kind of sucks. The meme is you open up a bakery after your PhD, and well, I'm kind of actually half seriously contemplating something along those lines lmao.
