Do you need some friendly advice? Are you unsure how to go about something? Does everyone around you look like they know exactly what they’re doing? (Hint: they don’t!). We’re inviting early-career researchers to send their questions about the life of a researcher or ask for career advice, and Clara- fications columnist Clara Grazian will try to find an answer. We’ll publish the question and answer in the next available issue. Don’t worry, we won’t publish your name. Your question might even be what someone else has been secretly wondering… Send your questions for Clara to bulletin@imstat.org.
