There is nothing more satisfying than turning in a dissertation proposal draft two days early.

My goal is to be in
candidacy before Labor Day. That way I can celebrate my birthday as a PhD candidate and no longer a PhD student. #thatPhDlife

After 5+ years as Associate Director, Graduate Studies,
I've reviewed 450+ grad applications.

About 85% get rejected for the SAME preventable mistake.

Here's what admissions committees actually look for

It’s surreal when writing your dissertation proposal and you realize that what you are about to do
is going to challenge your discipline and influence public policy.

I hope he gets the shits and destroys his escape jet.

It’s not for the US, he’s gonna use it to flee the US after he’s out. He’s setting up his getaway plan now. Mark my words.
No comment.

White supremacist & son of a cop Phoenix Ikner killed two people & is being infantilized as "struggling with mental health from a rough childhood"—yet US Citizen Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a Latino American who committed no crime but is suffering in an El Salvador death camp.

This is American fascism.

I am utterly tired of people like this, who refuse to admit they might not know everything about a given topic, who refuse to acknowlege that their friends and colleagues are openly deranged bigots, and who refuse to accept any corrections by people who actually know what they are talking about.

An elderly holocaust survivor confronts ICE and Tom Homan.

His bravery after what he has experienced and endured shows his incredible indomitable spirit even the Nazis couldn’t crush.

In the last year Minnesota farmers have had to weather extreme flooding, drought, new tariffs, and the spread of avian flu. 
 
Today I’m recommending an additional $4 million to help our poultry and livestock producers respond to the effects of avian flu.
