my highschool gpa was a 0.86 before I dropped out and I just got conditional recommendation of admission into grad school

[Gaurav Sabnis @gauravsabnis]

Flex your lowest academic low score.
To remind us that almost everyone fails at some point in life but it isn't the end of the road. Just a memory in the end.

Mine was 27/100 in Engineering Math 2, just a year after I'd scored 99 in 12th boards. Much needed kick in my butt.

I had a chemistry professor who didn't assign homework. It was participation, labs, quizzes and tests, all in class. I can't do chemistry to save my life but I near effortlessly got an A because of his teaching style. Shoutout to Randall Madsen at Pima, you were a great teacher.

Potentially unpopular opinion: if you can’t teach the whole curriculum without homework, your curriculum is the problem. Kids aren’t“quiet quitting” by expecting to only do work @ school. After 7-8 hrs of work, they should expect to protect their peace & find joy when they leave

tw // suicide

the pressure of academia and the ways in which the american educational system emphasizes metrics above all else has been the trigger behind every single suicide attempt I've had since I was 14 years old

Happy Pride, y'all! Have a rainbow of lizards from this bi Herpetologist.

it might be my last year but i think i finally wiggled my way into a lab 😭

[🐡rezwana🐡 @bisexualbengali]

I will be the first one to admit that. there's a lot of reasons for that including some trauma stuff. but if there is anything I am, it is tenacious. if it's something I'm passionate about, I will keep attempting it until I figure it out because I know I eventually will.

[🐡rezwana🐡 @bisexualbengali]

the culture of "if you can't do it the first try then you're stupid" leads to people giving up after one try. it took me four tries to pass algebra. 2 tries to pass physiology. I am taking a class right now that I got a D in previously. I have a 97% now. I'm not good at school.

[Dr. Cait S. Kirby (she/her) @caitskirby]

We need more* professors who were "bad" at school.

People who struggled. People who tried to learn 6 different explanations before the aha. People who don't have perfect memories. People who take time to process things. People who got Ds.

Survivorship bias promotes exclusion.

[dr. maythe han, phd @maythehan]

a very important lesson i learned, especially in academia, is that there’s a big difference between people who are your friends and people who are friendly to you, and that you should never confuse the two.

This is what it took me until my last year of grad school to realize. I’m still regularly overwhelmed by how much I don’t know, but I no longer suffer from the delusion that everyone else in my position knows 5x more than me.

Hi everyone! I had some family stuff going on today. We don’t celebrate thanksgiving over here. Columbus didn’t discover shit and we are on stolen land. Please consider contributing to land back/ supporting the Indigenous people’s whose land you live on.

Idk who needs to hear this (yes I do) but please stop calling your community science programs 'citizen science.' Your community very likely includes people who aren't citizens - language matters
