After years of struggling through undergrad, I have officially graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Physics from @univofmaryland.bsky.social. It feels so unreal… but I’m proud of being able to finish this marathon.
Next lap/stop: Ph.D in Physics.

As this academic year comes to a close along with the application cycle, I am delighted to say that I will be starting my Ph.D in physics in fall of this upcoming academic year @ University of Cincinnati. I intend to continue my pursuit of high energy/particle physics there.
I have officially survived this graduate application cycle.

A huge thank you to my advisors, peers, and family members who kept me sane along the way.
Proud to say I work on the R&D of this experiment for future upgrades. 🥹

I will probably be the first in my immediate family’s current generation to graduate college with no debt. My elder siblings didn’t have that privilege.

READ THIS ASAP:
“If we continue to be gripped with outrage and stilled by stupefaction by each day’s new proclamation, we will fail to discern what links them. To be gripped by his statements is precisely the aim of their utterance.”

Because of this post, I shall!!!!
The media needs to WAKE UP and stop calling the administration’s actions “chaos.“ THIS IS A COUP against American democracy.
I am all for the independence of the blue states in order to become our own country or be integrated with Canada — either works.

Dear 🧪🔭⚛️:
Stop calling the anti-DEIA executive orders, bans, work stoppages, research stoppages, and whatever else “rollbacks.” The executive orders are Resegregation Orders. These are attempts to return us to segregation.“

If anyone here is looking for a prospective graduate student in experimental high energy physics, specifically in the area of detector R&D or tracker optimization, please reply and let me know (my mind is just desperate at this point).
Locations: USA, Canada, Europe.

Spoke with a PI the other day and the first thing they brought up was the worry about funding from the government following this clown’s stupid executive orders. At this rate, I am not sure if I’ll even be able to attend graduate school.
Perhaps I am paranoid but I have every right to be.

With what’s happening in this nation now, if you’re not worried, you better be. I am honestly just pissed that we weren’t as aggressive about our stance on the matter — tolerance is no longer an option, we cannot let progress be halted by a bunch of lunatics that fetishize the old days.
Wow the people who tried to ban tiktok had their plan immediately backfire on them, who could've guessed other than like.... literally everyone💀
Just got my first rejection of the year. I am not feeling as disappointed as I would have been, which is great. Opportunities will come and go.
Zuckerberg has stooped to a whole new low but should this surprise anyone? I don’t think so, we should have seen this coming from miles away, SMH.

Despite treatment and an upward trend in my grades, my disappointment with my performance this semester is still nothing short of a burnout waiting to happen.

Never thought writing 7 statements of purpose would drain me this much. Now time to review for my E & M final. 🫠
One down, 14 more to go. 🫠

It’s the 1st of December and, I’ve yet to finish any of my Statements of Purpose for my graduate school applications. 😇😇😇😇

To my former friend who once said that toxic masculinity is necessary to deal with women, a big FUCK you and quadruple Middle Finger to you and anyone who associates with your beliefs.

Yeah, podcasts have aged like milk….it seems.
But the good news is we can at least launch a version of it that does not cater to toxic masculinity.
Here’s hoping.

So let me get this straight.
If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check.
But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't?
Got it.
#stolen but very true!!!
Facts matter. Science saves lives. Anti-science destroys them.
