I’ve been shouting this from the rooftops when I’ve talked about my isolation in grad school. How can we in good faith recruit marginalized students when the toxic environment is not sustainable & there are no policies in place to support + protect us?

Yesterday I was part of a discussion on paper writing and I would like to share a tidbit that has stayed with me for many years regarding writing a paper's introduction:

Write it like you're crafting the movie version of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

MIT has an endowment of $27 BILLION — that's billion, with a 'B'. They should not be exploiting teachers who are interacting with thousands of their students and help make MIT the great university that it is.

I stand in solidarity with @MITGradUnion working to form a union.

@MelDickson2 Thank you, I’ll keep this in mind!

big news friends ...
I'M GOING TO HARVARD TO GET MY PHD !!!
I'll be studying Geobiology. Specifically, in how the first lifeforms affected the planet -- and vice versa -- throughout Earth's early stages of development ~3 billion years ago. In a few years, I'll be a rock doc :)
