My first ever publication is my
piece about the Mentorship Program and it truly feels like a huge accomplishment to be recognized for all of my work towards inclusion in STEM! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41578-024-00683-0

A bad day doesn't dictate a bad year.

If you had a rough start to 2024, keep your head up. It will get better.

If you made it through 2023, that is more than enough.

Don't compare your accomplishments to others.

Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities!

This is only one day per year that recognizes the disability community, but efforts must be made 365 days a year.

Right now, the 2024 mentors are 89% disabled!

It is amazing to see so many that are willing to give back and serve as mentors!

It is frustrating that I cannot compensate the mentors for their time!

If anyone wants to sponsor this program, reach out!

I have two mentees in Australian time zones for the Mentorship Program but no mentors that match this!

One is interested in neuroscience and one is interested in zoology!

There seems to be significantly less interest in the #DisabledInSTEM Mentorship Program this year and it has me wondering why.

Is it the program structure? Is it a lack of interest? Is it too long of a commitment? What can I do to spark interest again? ☹️
