As researchers, constant evolution and learning are common practices. Most scientists 7 can relate to investing a great deal in becoming experts in a specific field we are passionate 8 about. While being a scientist means staying curious and excited about learning and discovering 9 new things, I never imagined these traits would lead me to change scientific fields immediately 10 after obtaining my Ph. D. Yet this is precisely what I did. Before my graduation ceremony, I had 11 already met with my new supervisor regarding a postdoctoral appointment in an area I had never 12 studied. It takes a lot of courage to pursue a professional career in science, particularly for 13 women, and even more to switch scientific avenues. A disciplinary change between Ph. D. and 14 postdoctoral appointments requires thoughtful analysis, research, and due diligence. 15 16As an early-career underrepresented female scientist who migrated from the Middle East 17 to the US in 2000, I am familiar with professional and life challenges. Challenges are rarely put 18 under the spotlight; however, recent publications are beginning to shed light on the value of 19 sharing them (Rose et al., 2018; Bertolet et al., 2022; D’Andrilli et al., 2021). My career’s twists 20 and turns may be more relatable to diverse researchers than previously thought. Challenges come 21 in different varieties across relationships, life changes, and project troubleshooting; they are not 22 solely limited to data processing or scientific advances. When we remember that challenges are 23 essential to our education and accomplishments, we become better people and scientists. For this 24 reason, I will share my own experiences changing fields in my professional career; this article 25 will highlight the twists and turns of stepping into unknown scientific territories. 26 27
