| Sumario: | ABSTRACT Academics in non-tenure-track positions encounter a unique set of challenges on the road toward tenure. Institutionalized policies and lack of mentors are additional burdens for foreign scientists, resulting in representation differences.

This crossroad has molded, and at times, challenged my participation in science. |
