As a bench science PhD student, it is very overwhelming to have to balance reading, writing, and lab work because they all feel so disparate as times. But I do get to switch off between tasks if I am really burned out in one arena which is nice. I’m definitely feeling the end of semester tiredness even though I am not in classes or a TA. It’s just the vibe on campus.

I hope you had a good end to the semester! ❤

I’m also an abd, writing my dissertation. Felt the same way. Thanks for sharing this video. I don’t feel lonely anymore 😊

Thank you for speaking about the protests and for giving space to your students to express their worries about this issue

Thank you for speaking about Palestine and calling it what it is, genocide. I remember in October you shared a post on Instagram in support of only Israel, and as a graduate student of color, it's nice to see that you have a changed understanding of why we protest against our institutions in favor of divestment. 💛

❤ as a white American, I try to greet global politics first with a stance of listening and compassion. The acts of violence on college campuses in response to pro-Palestine protests have been horrendous-violence that doesn’t even come close to what is happening in Palestine itself. I don’t remember posting anything pro-Israel on Instagram, but if I did, I did not realize or think through the ramifications of what I was sharing.

I loved the intro to this video 🫶🏻
