Yes! Unfortunately, the same may not hold true for postdocs... because, while switching topics may be easy in theory, certain fields are jealously guarded by more established PIs
A lot of students look for labs that study a topic they're interested in. I recommend looking for labs where you learn _methodologies_ that address questions at the level of analysis you're interested in. It's easy to change your topic, but difficult is to change your method.https://twitter.com/VanguardSTEM/status/1052248503022444546 …

But be careful to not think of what you learn in your PhD as your method. You should be continuously trying/learning new techniques throughout your career to get at the question at hand.
