Hey ya’ll, I’m an ac developer and was asked for ac writing advice for neurodivergent grad students. While I can speak to my own experience with ADHD, I’d love to get others’ opinons.

So apparently Teams is not entirely sure how to translate the word “neurodivergent.”
This is from a workshop I recently gave. From here on out, I ask that you all address me as “nerd virgin.”

Just in case you thought that removing DEI criteria would mean that everyone is competing equally: NIH is removing grad students from underrepresented backgrounds from the applicant pool altogether. Their applications will not be considered. Other students, not from these backgrounds, will be.

So, the trash goblin has apparently leveled up from ripping up plush piggies to horror movie plots. I finished a Zoom class to find a 9-in. chef’s knife on the carpet behind me next to her toys. How the hell did she carry it across the house without cutting herself?
