Out now in Cell! doi.org/10.1016/j.cell… Historically marginalized student representation drastically drops from undergrad to grad school. Are underrepresented students unqualified? Or are grad school admissions unnecessarily confusing, costly, & gatekeeping? 1/🧵

100s of miles away from chapel hill yesterday i was so scared and anxious for my friends and colleagues at UNC and can't even imagine what everyone was feeling on campus. we shouldn't have to live with the threat of gun violence like this

It's public: grads Univ. of Maryland are officially a UAW campaign! 200+ grad organizers are organizing a mass-participation, democratic union of 4100+ grads for living wages, protections against harassment & abuse, support for international student rights, better benefits, & more!

to all UMD faculty, we’re asking for your public support both so grads in your department know where they have allies and… because we’re fighting with you for an industrial academic union as well! Sign here: bit.ly/GLUFacultySupp…
