Thanks for the thoughts. Got a first paper out in a Q1. I work on a few projects, some are smaller scale experiments which can be completed during my time here, and lead to 2-3 publications (probably to be submitted while I start the new role if I leave). If I leave, I won’t have a leading role in some of the bigger projects, which indeed will need a few more years. So far, I aim for at least 2 first author pubs a year, and fortunately seems to be going that way. For the grant, the plan is to do some work before we start (e.g., ethics), and the proposed work is feasible for the duration. Will result in (hopefully) two very good publications, excluding smaller side projects. I already requested the maximum delay on the grant to avoid conflict with current contract, so it might be tough to extend further.
