My best advice for new grad students: “Find your people” ✨ These can be folks in your program/department or completely unrelated to your field. But these are people who you can talk to, hang out with, commiserate with, and most importantly… #AcademicChatter #PhDChat

....And we BACK! Let's kick off #BINW23 with #BlackInNeuroRollCall 👩🏽‍🔬🧠🥳 My name is Brielle Ferguson and since the last #BINW, I started as an assistant professor and opened my new lab at @harvardmed and @BostonChildrens. 🎉✨
Brielle is sitting in front a microscope, with her body facing away from the camera. Her face is turned toward the camera and she is smiling slightly. She is wearing a patterned brightly colored shirt, and a gold headband.
