With being on a leave of absence from my master’s to work on my health, I want to try to stay connected to science as much as I can before I go back. What are some ways y’all stay connected and are there emerging fellow programs out there for grad students/ students on leave? 🧪

Having to take a leave of absence from my master’s for a semester, let alone a year, was not anything I had envisioned when I went home for the summer in 2024. It’s been an arduous journey with my health and I’m exhausted, but I’m hoping I can finally get things figured out.

I wish my health would allow me to show up the way I know I can when it comes to academics and this degree. Sometimes, I get so anxious trying to start tackling work/tasks, as I know a flare is around the corner that could throw things off.

Hey y’all! My name is Rianon and I am a Marine Biology Master’s student studying coral genetics & immunology at the University of Miami. I also speak about my experience being a disabled scientist and the challenges I face. 🧪
