I'm not sure how many of you have experience with this, but I have a couple questions
A brief background is that I'm about 2/3 done with my PhD, and my PI got offered a better position and is moving. I've already decided to move as well for a variety of reasons.
My issue is that the move will be expensive for me. On my MSTP stipend, It will likely cost about 10% of my salary to move, and I'll have to make the move twice within 18 months. Does anyone have advice on how to convince my PI help me out? He's offered to pay a little bit, but really, it's not enough.
Also, for anyone with experience, what do I need to do to make the move as smooth as possible without much downtime. I'm already busy rewriting animal protocols, helping design the labspace etc.
Thanks
