Sharing some good news despite current circumstances. Cenca Bridge, the program I started, received $1.2M grant from the Simons foundation to increase quality of education in Central America and the Caribbean. From paying out of pocket zoom subscription in 2016 to now having so much support

Need help:

Looking for PhD programs in solar astro/exoplanets in Europe/Asia (basically in a place that can take you 3 years to do a PhD)? Helping out a student find those!
