@astronaia I went through trying to navigate a new disability in the middle of quals too, and didn’t end up passing. Because no one ever talked about having faced the same struggle, I internalized it as me being a failure. Seeing you talk about a similar experience is very comforting 💜
@astronaia This is a MASSIVE accomplishment! I’m so proud of you 😁!!! Navigating a newly found disability is soooooo much in and of itself, and doing it during quals?! Honestly you’re incredible.
A stray pupper showed up on our porch this morning, so I have a feeling today is going to be great. Yes she’s in absolutely terrible condition but I just need to get her to trust me enough to take her to our adoption center. She’s so scared but she wants to trust 🥺
We should normalize just how good PhD students are.
You already have a bachelors (maybe a masters too). You’re already highly qualified, and now you’re researching something that very few people IN THE WORLD can do. You’re literally one of the best in the world in your field.
