MIT just emailed postdocs announcing raising the postdoc minimum to $65k starting Jan 2023. It’s ~$10k more than the previous minimum. With cost of living & inflation the extra will help. Thank you for listening to us! And thank you to those who advocated for us!

Happy “Defense-iversary” to me! 🥂 Today marks 1 year since my parents logged onto the Zoom link early to say hi & my mom excitedly yelled “HI PUMPKIN!”, not realizing my advisor and committee members were on the call. I was so embarrassed, but hearing her voice calmed my nerves.

When I say “doing it for the ancestors”, I don’t only mean my immediately family. It’s for EVERYONE in my support system who checked in, cared, offered encouraging words & smiles, and made sure I didn’t give up.

Offering my deepest condolences to Nic’s family and friends during this time. Once again my heart is breaking while my brain is trying to make sense of it all. 💔 We must do better to support our young Black scientists. Something needs to change. Rest in power, Nic 🖤

I’ve been silent. But not because I’m out of words. The only thing I’m out of is tears. I’m not okay. How can I feel numb yet be furious at the same time? (This is a long one, stick with me my friends)

Blessed my lil bro retuned safely from deployment in time for the holidays. At breakfast my mom asks: “Did you have those MRIs for every meal?” Me: “Wrong acronym; wrong child.” Bro: “You mean MREs?” Hope everyone can have these moments with loved ones this holiday season 💚

My diploma arrived in the mail at my parent’s house yesterday. In true “Douglas Fam” fashion, they waited to FaceTime me to open together. It was a special moment hearing her read the words as she teared up. “Always stay gracious, best revenge is your paper.”

Now, more than ever, is the time to be radically empathetic & compassionate to each other. Also be kind to yourself. If you can’t focus like normal, give yourself grace. Things in the world are far from “business as usual”.

As final grades come out, just a friendly reminder to UG & grad students: your GRADES DO NOT DEFINE YOU. If you struggled taking classes- whether online, in person, hybrid, or asynchronous- it’s okay. We’re still IN A PANDEMIC! Give yourself grace. self worth ≠ grades
