POTENTIAL GRADUATE STUDENTS! Interested in Microbiology - viruses, bacteria, algae and all things in between? Want to study them in the lab? In animals? In Antarctica or the Ocean? Now accepting applications for our fall 2023 cohort.

Help! Has anyone had a potential masters student apply for the GRFP? Did they narrow the scope of the project since it would be for a masters, or not since it is still the same amount of funding regardless? TIA!

I con't to see posts ab "leaving academia". Please, let's reframe it to just "My mentee got a job!" or "I'm starting a position at XXX"(n leave out the salary). "Leaving academia" has lots of baggage ab selling out or not making it, even when its well-intended.

Getting emails from amazing prospective students when I can't say yes just kills me - I want to give them more than a kind decline - if you're a #PI recruiting students for Fall 2023 add your info to this list and share so we can give them other options! docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
I can't believe the time has actually come. Knoxville, thanks for a great 2 years. See you in a few days, Harrisonburg!
