'Who in their right mind would add another meeting to an already overflowing schedule?' This thought crossed our minds when we first discussed the idea of a postdoc peer group meeting. We are five early career researchers working in the same laboratory, each from a different background, shaped as much by our origins, stages in life, and previous research experience. When we started our series of meetings by asking 'What is a postdoc?', we struggled with our own definition of the position, bringing different answers and perspectives. This made us realize that postdoc peer group meetings could be a journey toward open discussion, co-development, and self-discovery.
