during my freshman year in college. I will forever be indebted to the numerous mentors that helped me dream this dream and supported me along the way. I am proud to be #FirstGeninSTEM and to support the many #FIL students in my lab and beyond! (1/2)

Why is your #mentor so picky about how some tasks are done in the lab? Some reasons are safety, accurate results, $, quality control, or to give an experiment the best chance of working the first time.

12 yrs ago I defended my PhD confident my OrgChem teacher wondered if hell froze. Attending a school that didn't offer bio/ecol & geared for preprofessional wasn't the best for me. I didn't know I could transfer schools & take those credits w/me. That's #firstgen #firstgeninstem

As a first-generation college graduate myself, I know the importance of offering a hand to the next generation. That's why I was glad to go back to school with @SJSU's MBT program and help these students with their interview skills. #firstgeninSTEM #giveback

I had no parent, relative or family friends to encourage me in a medical career. First generation docs don’t have these pics. I say this to encourage others #firstgeninstem #firstgeninmedicine

As a #firstgen/#firstgeninstem I still get #paralysed by #impostersyndrome even after becoming #professor. We need to work on improving #equity of access to #highereducation. If you're a fellow 1st gen-er feeling like a fish out of water, you're not alone! bigthink.com/neuropsych/impo…
