Let's talk about barriers to entry, #AcademicChatter. Keep in mind that, as a #FirstGenAcademic, I had no idea that their might be solutions to some of these issues. Where does one find that info? Some people who have parents that went to grad school? (1/

My mom confused “permission to write” with “defended”...and then called everyone she knows. She now hesitantly asks, “...are you...writing...?”❤️❤️❤️ #firstgenacademic

My mother is telling EVERYONE that I am "practically a doctor" and I "just need to finish one paper." Reader, that paper is my dissertation.



Are you a #firstgen student/professional in science? Are you interested in sharing your experiences with first gen students applying to college? Looking for speakers for a workshop series. DM if you'd like to participate! #firstgenacademic @AcademicChatter @BUFirstGen


#FirstGenAcademic First gen PhD and academic

a member of my lab this week learned that being a #firstgenacademic was a thing. i don't usually do this, but can i get my #firstgenacademic colleagues and followers to say hello? i'd love to show them a thread so they know they're part of a wonderful, amazing community!



From a personal perspective, today was wild! Wearing the same dress I wore to my undergraduate graduation (thrifty, I know), it felt so weird to be part of the academic procession and sat on the stage. My life sometimes, still blows my mind 🤯 #firstgenacademic


Now that I've gotten the Notice of Award, I can announce that my F31 has been funded! Never in a million years did I expect to receive such a competitive grant, especially not during a pandemic. I'm extremely proud of my accomplishments as a #FirstGenAcademic! #WomenInSTEM

Copies of my dissertation arrived today! It was overwhelming to hold something that had been multiple versions of an electronic file for years. Also to know that my daughter will have this well beyond my years & KNOW that she can do ANYTHING! #AcademicChatter #FirstGenAcademic

4 years ago today I passed my viva and I became the first PhD in my family. This pic was taken just before the exam. Look at my terrified face. I was thinking to what alternative career I would take in case I failed. It went alright. #AcademicChatter #phdchat #FirstGenAcademic

Honestly, my greatest achievement so far is hearing my 9 yo niece brag to all of her friends about how her aunt is a “real scientist” and “does cool stuff all the time”. It makes me so proud to be a #womaninSTEM #asianinSTEM #firstgenacademic #ecologist and everything in between.


hello all #firstgen and #firstgenacademic folk! here's a fun story of how clueless i was: when i went to college, all i knew was that to do cool bio research, you had to get a phd. and that required lots of school. so i thought i was clever (you'll see in a minute why i wasn't).


Mentoring a #FirstGenAcademic student who got an interview at their top PhD spot!! Now what?? I'm not on any admin committees & my interviews were loooong ago.....esp in 2021 where everything is zoom😷😷😭...ANY tips, tricks, resources pls??? #AcademicChatter

In other order of things, I'm sad I never had anyone explain what a pre-print is. I had that paper sitting in my folder for a long time until 2 days ago I somehow figured out this was an option. Oh, to be a #FirstGenAcademic

People from working-class backgrounds often say that certain aspects of the culture in academia feel weird and alienating Are there specific things we are doing that especially exacerbate this problem?

My ancestors were busy working in potato fields, blacksmith workshops, and retirement homes. I'm the first in my family to enter academia. Still waiting for that permanent contract after 15 years though. I wonder at what point I went off track... 😄 #FirstGenAcademic"


Nach einer Station im #Wissenschaftsmanagement bin ich für die Habilitation wieder an die Universität zurückgekehrt. Wenn ich jetzt so darauf zurückblicke, war dieser Weg aus Sicht meiner Herkunft als #FirstGenAcademic und #Arbeiterkind alles andere als selbstverständlich. 4/4 🤔

Personal news incoming… I became a research fellow @CCRI_UK today and can’t thank my wonderful colleagues (from CCRI and beyond) enough for supporting my development over the last couple of years - you know who you are 💚 #firstgenacademic


No, because I didn't know it existed🙂 #firstgenacademic


Stay tuned as details get finalized for SJSU & other colleges. As a #FirstGenAcademic I never thought I’d be the one invited to share what I love-research. Full of love & gratitude as I head into the home stretch with my diss & dive into the #AcademicJobMarket. Mil gracias! 🥹💖


actually.. despite my grousing.. there are some mornings where the tenure packet, personal statement writing, starts to feel like something... like something i'm kinda proud of. #FirstGenAcademic
