My podcast episode has premiered!! Go take a listen and hear my thoughts on Gaga, Mental Health Stigma, and life as a grad student! @DearGradStudent @elana_gloger https://t.co/qW7F2G9VGv

The role of mentorship is so underrated--particularly for 1st generation college students and academics. You just don't know what you don't know. Good mentors bridge gaps, create opportunities, provide encouragement, and when you are ready, set you up for succession planning.

Remember that people always have something to say. What matters is that you follow your dreams and that you do what makes you happy. #MondayMotivation #mondaythoughts

Such an important reminder. Academic institutions can be toxic. Many advisors are not trained to be mentors. Grad students and post docs are some of the cheapest labor and are easily abused. @FORsymp has developed some guidelines that are comprehensive and work.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Know that your mental health matters
And someone cares about you❤️

Just because a conversation makes you uncomfortable doesn’t mean that what’s being said isn’t important
