I've submitted my first ever tenure-track job application. Officially, I'm on tenure-track job market. My major interest is membrane protein structure & function. As a first-gen immigrant scientist, even being able to apply is a long way from a working-class family home in India.

Our friend Sarah Cooper is back!

Lot of this does not surprise me (though my own experiences were that of supportive mentors). I understand postdoc budgets are often constrained, but no excuses to not extend a supportive launch pad.

A student asked me a question: I am sometimes told that it is “easier” for me in STEM as a student from an UR background because of all the grants available to me. How do I respond to this? I wanted to expand on my answer a bit here…
