Interesting thread: Why PI’s are struggling to get postdoctorate fellows?
Reasons:
1. Very low salary (in comparison to industry)
2. No salary increments with increasing experience
3. No settled life as contracts are short (1-2 years)
Tough life due to uncertainty’s.

If that would have been a case, would like to ask:
Many journals & publishing houses have (associate)editors and advisory board members from India. Is all that happening because of ‘Unbelievable Data Points’?
This is academic racism, nothing new.
