As a foreign scientist, this story is completely relatable!!
Snippets from life of an immigrant postdoc. I came to the US with $15000 in loan, & that is not trivial coming from India. I spent more than a year living in a small house of 300 sq. ft.(all incl.), & cutting corners on almost everything so that I could pay the loan off ASAP. 1/n
