My cohort is having a poster session next week, where the whole department comes to learn about our research. I feel like a Bridgerton girlie entering the marriage mart with a lil feather on her head.

Friends, my colleague has an amazing student who got accepted to an Ivy League MA program in international affairs:
A Palestinian, first-gen, Muslim woman.
The cost of the program is prohibitive. Can anyone point me to funding sources that can help cover her tuition?

Need to vent for a sec:
My best friend is terminally ill. Medical marijuana works great for her pain but, because it’s a Class 1 controlled substance, she can’t have it in the hospital.
Want to know what she’s getting instead? Fentanyl.
No bigger point here, I’m just angry and scared for her.
