PhD Candidate in the Velotta Lab @ DU Physiology, genomics, evolutionary bio Mice in high places. Also bugs in semi-high places 🐁🏔️🪰 she/her
I am excited to announce that after a crazy couple of months taking my qualifying and proposal exams back-to-back, I have advanced to PhD candidacy! To celebrate, the lab indulged me with a trip to Coors Field to see the best team in baseball beat the Rockies. Go Mets! Now, onto fieldwork year 3!
The GRFP announcement from NSF cuts out an entire cohort of 2nd year students from consideration, without warning. This is so deeply unfair that it warrants a formal protest from the scientific community. If someone wants to work with me to craft an open letter and solicit signatures, LMK.
Dan Garisto@dangaristo.bsky.social · 10mo agoNew: After a long wait, the GRFP solicitation is live! Deadlines have been extended to early November, so applicants have a bit over a month to submit. www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

‘Completely shattered.’ Changes to NSF’s graduate student fellowship spur outcry

All my hard work and prep seems to be for naught. Maybe we can get something back. Consider signing: laurenkuehne.github.io/grfpChanges/

Feeling exhausted watching Trump spew falsehoods and misinformation as he addresses Congress this evening? We’ll have an excellent talk from a science communicator on the nature of mis- and disinformation at the Colorado @standupforscience.bsky.social rally this Friday. The work continues.
