As a first-generation Ph.D. student, I know the journey can be lonely at times. But you belong; your voice, story, and brilliance matter on this path and beyond. Keep rising, you are seen. One day at a time #PhDlife#Belonging#Firstgen

Guy behind the breeches managed to get elected Prez-Elect of the Botanical Society of America. Still doesn’t feel real and probably won’t until I start my term just after #Botany2025, but I promise to do my best bc plants & plant peeps are awesome.

White collar comfort zone + Blue collar comfort zone = a broader comfort zone.

As #ai threatens more #whitecollar work, more people from #bluecollae backgrounds are thankful for their “lower skill” work. This is an interesting twist on my research findings from 2018, that a working-class background is stigmatized in professional settings

Often a dilemma for a young FirstGen: follow your heart or follow the money. And what will family say about your choice?

First-gen students, speaking from my own experience, I know how overwhelming and frustrating it can be when your first career choice doesn’t fulfill your whole self. Just know — it’s completely okay to change direction as you discover paths you never knew existed. #FirstGen

This podcast provides a wonderful oral history of FirstGen lived experiences.
It nicely shows how all FirstGen lives are different, but have in common that pioneering mindset of figuring it all out with minimal or no guidance.

Beyond thrilled my colleagues voted to promote me to full Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law!!
Grateful to colleagues who devoted extra time to evaluate my impact in research and pedagogy - and to all in my community who mentored me to see this day. (And a year early, at that!) #firstgen

It makes sense that my first follow is @smartgirl07.bsky.social, half because I just bought her book (no I don't have an excuse for why it took so long) and half because I expect this account to lean heavily into my research on #firstgen, work with first-gen, and random complaints about *all this*

Flashback Friday.
Graduation season. First Master's graduation, fun celebration. No photos of the second Master's graduation because I graduated during Covid times. We had a virtual ceremony & I did not join the zoom. #mba #womeninstem #firstgen #latina

THIS! Whenever someone asks me for academic advice, my first comment is always that “your questions are worth asking”.
As a firstgen scholar I always felt intimidated that I would reveal my ignorance or everyone would laugh at me. Now I realize “they” usually have the same questions that I do. 😌
