I was reminded today that one of the reasons I didn't win an NSF GRFP was because of my undergrad GPA. On this day, the #ADA30 anniversary, I would like to give a shout out to all the disabled grad students who struggled with structural oppression in the undergrads. 1/4
I was also desk rejected from many PhD programs was for my undergrad GPA. However, @gillianrhayes looked past numbers and accepted me into her lab. Just like the ADA, my journey is not complete, but sometimes it's good to stop and appreciate how far I've come. #ADA30 2/4
Desk rejected from PhD programs, not awarded an NSF GRFP (got some other amazing fellowships eventually though!). But now I'm proud to be a UC President's Postdoc. I'm not ashamed of my past. My past is what has made me a compassionate scholar. #PPFP 3/4
