First-generation graduate chemists face challenges throughout their entire academic lifetime Study highlights need for mentorship and more inclusive networks

23% of first-generation students said they felt like impostors, compared to just 2% of non-first-generation students. They were less likely to be invited to summer lab placements and less likely to report having family support.

We are looking at measuring thermal conductivity of some organic thin films, but are struggling to design a set up to do this on a sensible scale. Any ideas?
