📝 So, the fellowship actually ended up removing the Diversity Fellowship as one of the formal requirements without notifying people! 🤔🧪

I still ended up submitting my statement by adding it to the end of my research proposal because it definitely influenced my scientific direction 🫣👩🏽‍💻

My parents keep pointing out parallels between what has /already happened/ in the Philippines and the resulting aftermath versus what's going on in the United States today 😬

... And comparing that to why they left in the first place during the Marcos' regime 🫠

Oh wow, this is super cool work! 🤩 I'm excited to look deeper into the paper 👀

Tagging with some emojis and whatnot so that it gets on the #SciSky 🧪 feed too! 🧬💻✨

Hmm, that’s a good point! I’ll ask the fellowship coordinators to try and learn more! 🤔

For sure! I feel like with AI/LLM-generated content, there’s a lot of filler text and fluff that isn’t very useful 🥴

The more I think about it, the more I believe that we’re in the New Gilded Age 💛🥲

I also miss StumbleUpon and randomly finding delightful corners of the internet 🥲

Is there a transcript or recording of these conversations somewhere? 🤩🧪

Would love to hear what was discussed, especially since I couldn’t make the @uaw4811.bsky.social event that recently happened! 💪🏽

I was a little surprised that they were asking for one given ✨everything going on🤪🧪 but a good exercise nonetheless?
