lol as a #PhD student, I have very strong opinions (surprise, surprise) about social science findings that generalize human behavior when they only focus on white people.

A live look of me trying to graduate from this #phd program:

Most #PhD scientists in the United States stay in the labor force notably longer than the average person—into their late 60s and in some cases beyond—according to new data from the National Science Foundation. scim.ag/4knpeWn
Why do so many retirement-age scientists keep working?
Survey reveals a desire to hold onto their professional identity keeps Ph.D.s working beyond their 60s

lol as a policy and economics #phd student, I'm looking all around me and my conclusion of the current moment remains the same:

Everyone should've just listened to Black women... the first time.

A little about me:

I’m an #Autistic #PhD student in #ReligiousStudies, researching myth & ritual in the Hebrew Bible. I was an attorney for 10yrs, until I hit autistic burnout & decided to build a new career around my special interests in myth & religion. Nice to meet you all!

I gave in! After students asking for it, I now made a simple figure design checklist.
To help all scientists w/o graphic skills create clear, accessible, and truthful charts!

I had my #PhD thesis printed and bound to remind myself of why I am unemployed.

Traveled to Columbia, Missouri, to celebrate the successful #PhD defenses of my last two esteemed graduate students at the University of Missouri-Columbia! Michael Pisias (PhD Plant Biology, advised by Bing Yang); & Shawn K. Thomas (PhD Biology, co-advised by Jacob Washburn). #Crop #Evolution #agsky

Hi everyone! Anna, here.

I'm known as @itsafronomics on all platforms and I'm currently trying to survive my #phd in policy and economics at Harvard. I also write for the public on topics related to #race, #gender, and the #economy.

I hope to connect with y'all soon!

So...yesterday, I found out that my #PhD funding from the government was terminated so money for survival is now in jeopardy. 🙃

If you know of ANY sources of funding, please let me know.

✨GOOD NEWS ALERT✨

A young Black woman from the University of Minnesota, Salma Abdi, just won THE TOP PRIZE for college students studying #economics. This is a big deal because Black women don't even make up 1% of economics #phd graduates.
