YOU GO GIRL!!! Congratulations Dr.Flores:) Since 2020 I subscribed to channels practicing and promoting dream catching so I would not feel alone in my journey. Since then, all of them and I have made it to where we worked so hard to be in 2023 and now I see you have too and it makes me so happy. Thanks for allowing us subs to grow and glow with you. You're a never ending gift of motivation🎁.

Of course!!! Thank you for being a part of this journey and being sooo encouraging!!!!

Congratulations Dr. Flores!!! You've done it and have been transparent about what to expect in grad school. As I prepared to start my first year at UCR over the summer, your journey has been the MOST helpful video series/brand that I've come across. I haven't been in my program very long (we just got into week 5) and your advice has come in handy. You are inspirational! I'm excited to see the next milestone you achieve and hope you take us along for the journey, friend. I wish you the extraordinary success you deserve.

Oh my God, first of all, congratulations! You are on the final stretch and that is amazing. Secondly, your topic is fascinating! I really want to connect with you. I am a first-year Ph.D. student at Northeastern University interested in DEAI and community work in museums through the decolonization lens. I also look at the museum in my home country Azerbaijan, in the time after independence and the stolen objects during the colonization era. This is why I was excited to see how you have looked at museums in Brazil. If you are interested, please let me know :) And congratulations once again

Congrats Brisa. You mentioned that the final degree certificate arrives with transcripts. Can you elaborate on that? How they allocate credits, etc....since this is on PhD level.

@BrisaMarie

4 ай бұрын

Hi! So the transcripts are exactly like any other degree level (in the US at least) I had two years of course work and those grades are accounted for. The main difference is that they also include the dates of your oral/written exams, if you pass or fail. And if you have any language exams. But beyond that they are very standard. I will say in most cases, no one has asked to see my transcripts (unless they are trying to prove that I am attending the program I said i was lol) so post-grad they don't seem to matter much :D

Hi. How to apply for marine biology PhD if one is an engineering undergraduate?

@BrisaMarie

5 ай бұрын

Yes! Of course! The most important thing is that you have all the pre-reqs... If you don't you can take them at a local community college or a "post-bac program" but those are kind of expensive! But marine biology and engineering (all types) are STEM so usually it would not be a hard case to make! Here is a video on application advice ( kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zm1psJKbaNOogaw.htmlsi=SCf3eihk9tFHp1EQ ) Hope it helps!
