This is a bittersweet time for PMN. PMN co-founder and long term president @JennyLoome recently completed her dissertation defense, with an outstanding presentation! We will miss her dearly, but we are incredibly excited for her as she continues her career beyond Grad School!
Congratulations to PMN treasurer, Lily McKay, on a truly excellent Dissertation Defense!! We wish her the best in the next stage of her career!
Yesterday, we held a well-deserved celebration for @UNC_Micro_Imm students that recently turned in their written preliminary exam, representing a significant milestone of their PhD training!
Grad school Prelim exams often induce high levels of stress and anxiety. Last week, 2nd year students who are starting their prelim met with a panel of senior students for advice on how to get started and ways to alleviate some of the stress and anxiety associated with the exam.
Check out this column piece by PMN Co-founder, Taylor Tibbs. She discusses how having a peer network can be a powerful force in relieving some of the difficulties associated with grad school and beyond.

Today, we held an info session on cold-emailing for professional purposes (job searches, collaborations, help with qualifying exams). Some top tips: •Keep it brief •Personalize the email •Be specific on action items and deadlines We also held a costume contest for Halloween!
Our kickoff BioOlympics event was a blast! PMN groups came together to put their science skills to the test. Team Cytokine Storm had a late surge to defend their crown from last year's inaugural BioOlympics! #gradschool #microbiology #Immunology #sciencetwitter
BioOlympics today! Come meet with your small group, compete in fun science games (with prizes!), and enjoy free food!
