It was a shotgun application (I took the GRE march 14th), but I was formally offered acceptance to UB’s Chemical and Biological Engineering PhD program today. 🤓 with…ta-da…full financial assistance. I actually tried very hard to find a job I would enjoy, but the economy limited my opportunities (I also said no to every red state…hate crime thing and all…). Then I started taking a battery design course with a great professor and noticed what I really wanted to do required more education. I’m hoping to work with advanced power systems/battery design, but there are a few other professors I’d like to work with as well (nano particle, polymers). It’s still a compromise…5 more years of schooling… ---

Congrats. Graduating right now certainly limits opportunities for people. I’m pretty sure I see you in Bell all the time. ---

The gf just signed up for the GRE’s. Not good. UB didn’t approve the developmental psychology and linguistics program so that means that she has to go away to school. ---
