A note for undergrads looking to apply for grad schools with GRE's...

1. Plan ahead! It will take many months to actually take the exam with accommodations (I was quoted approximately 6 months).
2. If your accommodations are at least 5 years old, you need to redo them.

@seanbruna And is going to end up getting more disabled people killed. But we don’t really matter to most people so people think it’s ok if we die.

@seanbruna This pretty much encompasses most of the barriers. Another one would be the lack of connection to others because university related activities are often inaccessible. Many show up, do their classes and go home leaving us with less opportunity for networking and community.

@GabeGoGabe This does not surprise me at all. I’m so over it.

@dadadocot If it were me I’d just say I was focusing on this town and it’s residents for this research. At some point my research may expand to the indigenous group in the next town, but for now I have chosen to focus on this group.

@seanbruna If I come, you are voluntarily agreeing to play tourist with me and take obligatory photos in silly hats or speak like a pirate or any other such shenanigans.

[Spike (They/Them)🦖🦄🏳️‍🌈 @Anthrosaurus]

@seanbruna Sigh. Ok. I’ll see if it fits into next year’s running calendar anyway.

[Spike (They/Them)🦖🦄🏳️‍🌈 @Anthrosaurus]

@seanbruna You trying to entice me to come east? It might work. As long as you keep the bugs and other assorted creepy crawly things away.

[Spike (They/Them)🦖🦄🏳️‍🌈 @Anthrosaurus]

@dadadocot Hope it’s ok! If not, you have many friends and support who will help you through it.

@seanbruna And that’s another reason to just say no to visiting Charleston.

[Spike (They/Them)🦖🦄🏳️‍🌈 @Anthrosaurus]
