DM if you'd like to be part of our panel! Looking for a few more, if you have experience in communicating science in Spanish or other languages for your community, and believe you have lessons learned that you'd like to share to the audience, let me know!

Recent happenings may have derailed post-graduation plans for undergraduate students. Ball State Chemistry still have Masters openings with assistantships!

In response to headline โ€œCruz-Led Investigation Uncovers $2 Billion in Woke DEI Grants at NSF, Releases Full Databaseโ€ I want to re-emphasize that all these grants were public record and written in response to public solicitations supporting DEI content. No โ€œuncoveringโ€ or โ€œreleasingโ€ was done here

Sharing what I put elsewhere: 4 years of my graduate training were supported by an NIEHS diversity supplement. This program helped me learn how to write NIH grants ~2 years early, paid for conference travel and enabled me to build a network separate from my PhD advisor, and funded supplies 1/
