Thanks for the opportunity @biodiversifying. Working on this reminded me of the various identities we encompass as scientists, but, sadly, how our identities are used against us to exclude us. There's still much to be done to make science accessible and equitable.

I'm still shocked, but incredibly elated to share I've been awarded the @NSFGRFP?!!! It took writing numerous Thank You emails and messages for it to feel real. I couldn't have done this without the support of so many people including @RachelPenczy @QuinnFox19@ptanford
A thread about fellowship applications and continued effort after many, many rejections, for anyone who needs it. Here's a short story about my failures, successes & the benefits of prioritizing funding in grad school. ๐งต #BlackInNeuro#PhdChat#BlackandSTEM
Congratulations to all of those awarded an NSF GRFP! It is a great accomplishment. ๐๐พ
For those who didn't hear the news they wanted to hear, it is ok to feel disappointment & frustration. Also remember what you learned putting together the application. That is accomplishment!
@RachelPenczy @NSFGRFP @agnesscott@ESA_SEEDS @WUSTLdbbs @WUSTLBio Thank you for being a wonderful mentor and for all your feedback!!! I really couldn't have done it without you!!! ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
