Can finally unpin this tweet because…I’m going to grad school!!!! Super excited to share that I will be starting my PhD in Biomed Sci at UTHealth Houston MDAnderson this fall!! #phd#AcademicChatter@OpenAcademics#mdanderson#uthealth
6/6 PhD rejections😭. Feel so disheartened and inadequate. If this feeling lasts, not sure I’d be motivated enough to reapply for next year. How do I stay motivated? @OpenAcademics
Starting off the new year right, several MTB students were recently named recipients of awards through this year’s Fall Common Application and other external fellowships. Highlighted here are some of these awesome accomplishments; congrats everyone! 🎉👏
Congratulations to our second-year MTB students as they officially celebrated joining their PhD labs at today’s lab coat ceremony! This marks a great success and is an exciting step along their PhD journeys! 👏🎊
Some outtakes from today’s new student orientation session - We had a great time getting to know our incoming students and learning more about the cutting-edge research going on in the MTB program! 🧠🧪🫀🍻
Fantastic oral talks, poster presentations, and elevator pitches by our MTB students at today’s Graduate Student Research Day! Here’s some pictures from our students’ impressive research today!
Officially done with classes for the year AND have chosen a lab for my thesis research. Can’t believe it’s almost the end of the first year of my PhD. I dreamt of this two years ago and I can’t believe I’m actually living it 🥺🙏#PhD#gradschool
Interested in #ferroptosis and #ProstateCancer?……..check out our new work in @NatRevUrol discussing the regulation & role of this process in the context of PCa. This was led by the great Nikki Cao and Ela Subramani from the lab.

@jdpereira I use a paper like screen cover on my iPad that has reduced the glare a lot and also gives it a paper-like feel with the pencil. It’s the MOBDIK paper feel protector on Amazon!
