✨EPISODE 80 IS NOW LIVE!!✨ Dr. Apryl Alexander joins me to chat about the fallout of the 2020 summer of racial reckoning in the US in grad school, academia, & beyond 👀 deargradstudent.com/episodes/80 #AcademicChatter OpenAcademics BlackInX #blackhistorymonth #blacklivesmatter

Hi Friends! Applications are due March 1 for Merck’s Underrepresented Chemists of Color Research Award! It’s a great opportunity to network with Merck scientists and present your research. Email [email protected] with any questions #ChemTwitter 🧑🏽‍🔬

I am so excited to announce that I matched at Harvard Medical School/MGH Psychiatry! Thrilled to finish my PhD training at a world renowned academic medical center and complete this last step toward Dr. Jasmin! This proud Black woman is going to Harvard. #APPIC #matchday #appicmatch2023

A few peers & I who’ve felt the dreadful impact & isolation of not matching in #APPIC phase(s) 1, 2, &/or post-match vacancy are offering a supportive resource for students entering phase 2. Pls share widely, & off social, accounting for those who may be choosing to stay offline.

It’s the time when many receive news on #ClinicalPsychology apps. As a #FirstGen #BIPOC student w/ a #disability, it wasn’t until my 4th cycle that my dream became a reality. We don’t often share let downs, so I hope my letter will reach those who may find comfort in it the most.
