Orcas have begun wearing salmon hats again – and we may soon know why

On the topic of #STEM grad school in the US, aid packages can be negotiated. Some departments have flexibility and can offer funds to be used towards moving, funding to avoid TA the first semester, or other benefits. If your top choice is not as good financially, talk to admissions asap 🍎🧪🥽👩🔬#edusky
