Remember when I was upset that I scored worse on my F31 resubmission? That was a much better time than this clusterf*ck. Awarded grants & fellowships shouldnt be terminated. NRSAs approach critical questions, launch independent research programs, & provide essential training for ECRs. This is not ok

Thank you, Claire! 🥹 I can’t imagine the impact this will have on people who hold far fewer privileges and supports than I do. I’m glad many scientists are advocating against these harmful policies and practices!

Thank you, Cheri. I am so, so grateful for the impact you’ve had on my life and the ways you advocate for your trainees and patients. It’s an honor to work with you.

(6/6) be. Assumptions that diversity initiatives and supplements somehow give people an advantage over others is blatantly incorrect. It simply gives trainees a chance who, despite their best efforts, weren’t afforded the same opportunities and experiences others had.

(3/6) worry about whether I would have enough food to eat or a place to live. And the support and mentorship I’ve received throughout the years from teachers, professors, and senior scientists showed me that I can do hard and impactful things despite where I’ve come from. But I am finding that I

(2/6) and “DEI initiatives.” I was in foster care and had to get a GED instead of graduating from high school. Even then, Pell Grants and foster care funding gave me the opportunity to be the first in my entire extended family to go to college. It allowed me to focus on schooling without having to

(1/6) The people making these decisions have no idea the harm caused by their politically motivated and reckless decisions. I am in my final year of training for a PhD in psychology and have been working for months on a diversity supplement. I’m where I am now ONLY because of governmental support

Does anyone know any support groups or specific ways to connect w/ a first-gen academic mentor, preferably someone in clinical/counseling psych? I’ve found navigating the scientific components of academia straightforward but the cultural differences & unspoken assumptions are harder to navigate
