After listening to the stories of several 1st yr grad students in academia, systematic changes needs to be done on the university's end to support incoming grad students financially in their critical first year of graduate school.

@ADiaz_PhD @sacnas Congratulations!!! Such a well deserved honor. 🎉🥂

The serendipitous discovery of a short 37aa peptide that robustly localizes to the Golgi has been a really fun side project of mine. Please see this thread and the attached pre-print for more details. We welcome feedback as we continue to push this project forward!

[Iain Cheeseman @iaincheeseman]

Welcome to our revised “Preprint in Progress”. If you are just tuning in, we found a hidden peptide with beautiful Golgi localization. A valuable imaging tool, but a new area for us. @alexpnavar has now conducted new experiments based on your feedback.

Reading another one of those vague emails about a student passing is heartbreaking, especially when you knew the person. You didn’t know him well but you knew where he was from, you knew MIT would be especially hard for someone (brown) like him, and you know that could have been

@ivanividivici Very relatable content.

Scientists come from somewhere. My somewhere is Puerto Rico. IMO scientists work best when we bring all of our identities to the table, and in that context share, in solidarity, common aspirations. Thankful/proud to be part of all of these communities https://t.co/WJt6TeFmEJ

Made from MIT PhD enrollment data from 2010-2020. Orange dot=1 Black student & blue dot=1 non-Black student. Just a visual of the past decade with virtually no increase in URMs.

Consider 5-6 years being one of these orange dots #AcademicChatter #BlackinSTEM

#SCOTUS rules against Trump administration in challenge to decision to end #DACA program, which allowed noncitizens brought to this country illegally as children to apply for protection from deportation, holding decision was arbitrary and capricious
