This is unfortunate, leading to intense financial stress (the most consuming stress IMO). Sure, my generation (Gen X) is also struggling compared to our parents' generation. However, new graduates (class of 2026 and beyond) are in for a very challenging life post higher ed.

Welcome new and returning students! We are looking forward to another fantastic year of learning and growing.

UTSC Biology Students: Are you looking for help with studying, exams, time management? Looking for a sense of belonging on campus? Consider participating in BASS (details below) Feel free to reach out to myself or Prof. Bell if you have any questions.

Interested in joining the lab? The Killam Postdoctoral Fellowships are designed to bring outstanding scholars from around the world to UBC. I can nominate one person, and help with application materials. More information at www.postdocs.ubc.ca/award/killam... DM if you are interested!

I need to update my presentation on how to prepare fellowship applications for graduate students and postdocs. Any advice you think should be in there, beyond "read and follow the instructions"? I promise I'll cite my sources. Memes are welcome. Please share in your academic circles.
