Ferredoxin 🤝 Hydrogenase, an on-and-off relationship? WE CERTAINLY THINK SO‼️ @chemicalscience.rsc.org doi.org/10.1039/D5SC...

Interesting paper here in @chemicalscience.rsc.org. I was a first generation UG, as defined here. I spectacularly failed my first year & almost got kicked out. Recognise the points about failing to adapt. After 37 years, this can still influence my outlook, not always productively. #chemsky

Very interesting study! I’m also a first generation PhD and graduate, but I fortunately had the parents support and the ability to build networks and connections. Raising awareness about the existing barriers is a great start. #chemsky #education #firstgen

This study is an interesting attempt to quantify the effect of being first in your family to go to college on your success in chemistry. I felt some of this as a grad student. I wonder if the same effect is seen in the other science? 🧪
