July 11th, 7pm EDT: How do I pick a grad program? How do I find ones to apply to, and if I get multiple offers how do I choose? Panelists will share their experiences and advice.

... are competing for the same ~40 students. The competition is rough in my field, shuffle in some "lower tier" schools with your top tier apps!

[Student Veterans Research Network @SVRN_vets]

YES. The prestige of the grad school won't mean anything if you don't get in, or if it's not a good fit when you do and you end up hating your field. When I (@loganpearce) visited my grad school offers the same people were at all the visits. In my field schools...

Apply. To. Lower. Tier. Schools. I visited my PhD institute last week, made small talk w the current students, & I was deeply saddened by the way many of them seemed to view themselves & their institute: as failures & as a consolation prize, respectively. If you already (1/n)

Great thread of folks explaining why they decided to do a PhD:

[Dr. Sara Carder @SaraCarder3]

I got asked today, ‘why are you doing a PhD?’ I didn’t have an immediate answer, what’s yours, maybe I could borrow it @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter #phdlife #phdchat

Hey veterans who are preparing for their first semester of graduate school - would you be interested in a workshop where we share our lessons learned with starting school again?

Update: There is no longer an age limit for Scientists in Park program! 🎉🎉🎉

[Student Veterans Research Network @SVRN_vets]

Glad they make a 5 year allowance for veterans, but it’s not enough. A vet who enlisted at 18 and retires at 20 years will be 38. What is the rationale for there being an age cut off? @geosociety ?
