I’m glad you are able to get accommodations! They can honestly be life changing. Hopefully your advisor has been understanding while you navigate this.

People don’t always hear or see the effects they leave on another, and as an advocate for student needs, I am hopeful for the opportunity to reach a larger audience through the field of education policy.

that’s a huge accomplishment! it looks so warm and cozy too.

Just thinking of this because I came across this picture from YCSEC-A 2023 and was thankful of all the opportunities my former PI provided, including helping host and organize this conference! Truly one of the best years of my adult life.

I’m interested! :)

I’m in my second year and I feel like it’s worse than it was last year 😅 I don’t know how much of the ‘barely staying afloat’ feeling stems from academia or from the current state of the world though.

I’d love to be added, I’m a PhD student modeling wind and wave interactions near coasts!

Could I possibly get added to the physical oceanography list? I do wind/wave research.

I really liked Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and Scythe by Neal Shusterman, they were both easy to get into and interesting to read. A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini are another two of my top books, but they’re a very different vibe than the first two.
