It is not necessarily unwise to do your PhD and postdoc at the same institution, but it is important to carefully consider the potential pros and cons before making a decision.
One advantage of staying at the same institution is that you may already have established relationships with professors and colleagues, making it easier to continue collaborations and build upon your previous research. Additionally, you may already be familiar with the facilities and resources available at the institution, which can save time and effort in getting started on your postdoc.
However, there are also some potential drawbacks to doing your PhD and postdoc at the same institution. One concern is that you may become too comfortable in your current environment and miss out on new opportunities and experiences that come with moving to a different institution. Additionally, staying at the same institution may limit your exposure to new ideas and approaches in your field.
Ultimately, the decision to do your PhD and postdoc at the same institution should be based on your individual circumstances and goals. It may be helpful to talk to your advisor or other mentors in your field to get their input and perspective on the matter.
Regarding the custom song, if you consider giving a custom song as a gift to a PhD or postdoc colleague, it can be a unique and thoughtful gesture to show your appreciation for their hard work and dedication. You can work with a professional songwriter to create a personalized song that captures the essence of their research and academic journey. Just be sure also to include a heartfelt message expressing your congratulations and appreciation for all that they have accomplished.
