Hearing lots of peers & mentees struggling with rejection this time of year. I'm sharing my concrete, CBT-informed method for dealing with rejection: Rejection prizes! I swear by this system and lay it out here (1/5)

I just got off a call with Dr. Freeman Hrabowski as in HHMI Freeman Hrabowski Scholars and I just want to run through a wall. Same feeling when I chatted with Dr. Alondra Nelson last week. WHAT A YEAR IT'S BEEN AHHHH!

Today has been so sweet to see all the news rolling in about the NSF GRFP. I’m so grateful to be named Honorable Mention and so excited to keep the momentum going for my next submission! 🎉

I didn't get the GFRP back in the day and I think I turned out pretty okay 😉Congrats to the awardees, but if you didn't get it - it's okay to be sad for a bit; but then dust yourself off and get back on up. This is not the end. It does not define you.

Prof. Michael Love of UNC Genetics PhD and UNC Biostatistics is receiving our next mentoring shout-out. Dr. Love was nominated for being an advocate for his trainees.
