Cultural vibes: Stories from researchers around the world

This is an excerpt from an article by a researcher who had an interesting and humbling cultural experience while pursuing her postdoctorate in a native English--speaking country while herself being a non-native English speaker.

Pursuing research in your native language

I sometimes feel it is an unfair game for researchers who are non-native English speakers. People whose native language is English will be in an advantaged since they can access information immediately without having to filter it through another language. However, at the same time, I found out that the incompetent feeling I had towards conducting my research was not simply due to the lack of fluency in English.
