It so was hard to imagine having successful career in science as a disabled PhD student that eventually I just left.
Who could have guessed that years later I would help create a magazine issue dedicated to highlighting Trailblazing disabled chemists!

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:
