Alright, probably going to use this as my new Twitter from now on. I am Othello, senior undergraduate physics student at the University of Maryland. Looking to connect with fellow people in STEM, including my fellow queer folks in STEM.

After years of struggling through undergrad, I have officially graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Physics from @univofmaryland.bsky.social. It feels so unreal… but I’m proud of being able to finish this marathon.
Next lap/stop: Ph.D in Physics.

As this academic year comes to a close along with the application cycle, I am delighted to say that I will be starting my Ph.D in physics in fall of this upcoming academic year @ University of Cincinnati. I intend to continue my pursuit of high energy/particle physics there.

I have officially survived this graduate application cycle.

Proud to say I work on the R&D of this experiment for future upgrades. 🥹

I will probably be the first in my immediate family’s current generation to graduate college with no debt. My elder siblings didn’t have that privilege.

The media needs to WAKE UP and stop calling the administration’s actions “chaos.“ THIS IS A COUP against American democracy.

I am all for the independence of the blue states in order to become our own country or be integrated with Canada — either works.

Stop calling the anti-DEIA executive orders, bans, work stoppages, research stoppages, and whatever else “rollbacks.” The executive orders are Resegregation Orders. These are attempts to return us to segregation.“

If anyone here is looking for a prospective graduate student in experimental high energy physics, specifically in the area of detector R&D or tracker optimization, please reply and let me know (my mind is just desperate at this point).

Locations: USA, Canada, Europe.

Spoke with a PI the other day and the first thing they brought up was the worry about funding from the government following this clown’s stupid executive orders. At this rate, I am not sure if I’ll even be able to attend graduate school.

Perhaps I am paranoid but I have every right to be.

With what’s happening in this nation now, if you’re not worried, you better be. I am honestly just pissed that we weren’t as aggressive about our stance on the matter — tolerance is no longer an option, we cannot let progress be halted by a bunch of lunatics that fetishize the old days.

Just got my first rejection of the year. I am not feeling as disappointed as I would have been, which is great. Opportunities will come and go.

Zuckerberg has stooped to a whole new low but should this surprise anyone? I don’t think so, we should have seen this coming from miles away, SMH.

Despite treatment and an upward trend in my grades, my disappointment with my performance this semester is still nothing short of a burnout waiting to happen.

Never thought writing 7 statements of purpose would drain me this much. Now time to review for my E & M final. 🫠

Yeah, podcasts have aged like milk….it seems.

But the good news is we can at least launch a version of it that does not cater to toxic masculinity.
Here’s hoping.
