As a first gen, low income student I find my education all myself and reached out to a professor in Washington who wants to work with me! But as an international student he can't hire me! I am wondering if there are any grants or award from welsh STEM student internationally??

I feel bad reaching out after all this time to ask for your help! So here is an update. I am a vegan gym addict now, I'm more proudly LGBT than ever and still advocate for young peoples mental health in everything I do! That will be my speciality in my neuroscience work!

Book launch! ๐๐
2020 has changed how we interact with the world.
The pandemic forced us indoors, behind the windows of our homes. These windows have allowed us to daydream, to process what it means to be apart, to make sense โจof many unfamiliar feelings.

I feel so grateful that I was asked to be invoked in such an incredible project.โจ The creation of the book that documents peopleโs experiences of lockdown is being crowdfunded on Kickstarter with any profits being donated to @weareplatfform ๐
