Seeing Our Name in Lights

By Patrick Bigsby. Last season, Grey’s Anatomy averaged 8.22 million viewers weekly, though the number of active medical practitioners in the U.S. is only about one-tenth of that number. In the same season, How To Get Away With Murder pulled in an average of 9.76 million pairs of eyeballs each week. This viewership dwarfs the national population of 1.3 million attorneys. While plenty of people like to watch fictional versions of doctors and lawyers, far fewer lay claim to the titles. Read more...

The Narratives We Give Ourselves in Graduate School

By Anjali Gopal. Narratives are stories that we tell ourselves that shape how we think about our histories and our motivations. When I associate with narratives like “I am a female in STEM” or “I want to work in the biomedical sciences,” this affects how I approach my career (will I engage in basic science research if it’s not related to the biomedical field?), think about my identity (how do I value my place in a male-dominated field?), and relate to other people (how do I engage with biomedical engineers as compared to humanities-majors or others in STEM?).

On Not Working From Home

By Jonathan D. Fitzgerald. I count myself extremely lucky that, unlike many of my peers and colleagues, I have a designated work space—a home office—in my apartment. When my wife and I moved in, I excitedly set up this hallowed space in the way I always imagined a home office should be. Read more...

You Should Be Working on That Book Project -- No, the Other One

By Lindsay Oden. If we know anything about dissertations and theses, it’s that they will consume your life-energy and regurgitate you as a husk of your former self. They demand time, attention, vitality, and money. For those in the humanities, less than half of PhD students finish dissertations, and the numbers aren’t much better for social sciences and STEM.

R.I.P. First-Generation Graduate Student

By Regina Sierra Carter. I was on the verge of tears. My family and friends were on standby for moral support. I vividly remember flowers, fans, and programs. It was May and sweltering outside. Everyone was seated beneath a wide-brimmed tent to shelter us from the heat. Read more...

Modeling

By Herman Berliner. Going back to my days in graduate school, I have always had a fondness for economic models. Starting with actual data and past experience, and assuming some things change going forward, it is possible to project what the result will be of the change. If investment increases or consumer spending decreases, or auto sales accelerate, or oil prices decline, it is possible to predict the consequences, often with real accuracy. Read more...
