Pros
I love to be a scientist. I am proud of my career, but given the cuts in science funding in Argentina, I am thinking in doing something else or change my location
Kontras
Working at CONICET, while offering the opportunity to engage in high-level research, comes with significant challenges. These include financial instability and frequent budget cuts in science, which undermine long-term planning and resource availability. The unpredictability of funding and administrative processes further complicates research continuity. Additionally, limited access to cutting-edge infrastructure and resources makes it difficult to compete with the world's top laboratories, despite producing high-impact publications. These constraints can limit the ability to attract international collaborators and talent, placing dedicated researchers in a position where they must consistently overcome systemic hurdles to achieve excellence.
