@ThePhDPlace Went through the same thing. Talked to my PI and said I did not have the money and if I did not get any help I am out. He helped pay and then I pay him when school payed me
Kinda sad that @sacnas ain’t showing more support than a prayer tweet considering where the next conference takes place and how many boricuas are part of the annual conferences every year… Really hoping I’m wrong… #FionaPR#STEM#sacnas#DiversityandInclusion#gradschool
Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Fiona. 🇵🇷 💚 Please stay safe and thank you to all the First Responders and Medical Personnel for your hard work and dedication during this unfolding crisis. #PuertoRico
the central grad school fashion dilemma is how to balance
a) needing 18 year olds to respect you
b) needing 50-70 year olds to respect you but in a different way
c) being hot
I got a DM advising me to delete this tweet- please see my response
While I appreciate being looked out for (and this isn’t a dig at the person who DM’d me), if we don’t call out the system, how do we expect it to change?
A few incoming PhD students have asked me what they can do now to prepare for grad school. Here’s my advice - don’t refresh on stats or or try to get a head start on research. Instead, do absolutely nothing! Sleep until noon, spend time with loved ones, & binge watch trashy tv!
