I am a Research Advising and Mentoring Professional with @uafblast. It's basically a swiss army knife for undergraduate mentoring in biomedical/environmental research.

Walking back into lab today to experiments not working? Your struggles and failures don’t disqualify you for a PhD - they are exactly what qualify you. Research is about overcoming challenges, and the resilience you build now is the foundation for your future success. #PhDchat
