Happy #FirstGenDay! Good morning to all #FirstGen trainee/faculty/admin working hard to pave the path for others to follow. Say hi if you are First-Gen: Tag others. Follow each other. #CelebrateFirstGen @OpenAcademics @GlobalMindEDorg @AcademicChatter

I WAS ACCEPTED TO @OhioStateMed MY TOP CHOICE MEDICAL SCHOOL 😭🎉🎉 #firstgen

Took a lil’ minute, but I finally did it. I made a promise to my granny that I was going to earn my master’s degree before she passed. I’m grateful I was able to keep that promise and make her proud. Another milestone. Another accomplishment. Praise God🕊️🤎 #AG2G #firstgen

We're excited to announce our #FirstGen Program, an initiative that expands our efforts to improve equity in publishing by providing resources to first-generation scholars. #PublishFirstGen #UPWeek #KeepUP @aupresses

Would you daily this absolute UNIT of a first-gen Dodge Ram… or wouldn’t you? 😈 #DodgeRam #FirstGen #LiftedLife #TruckOrNothing

#Firstgen story: Had a convo with my mom today & talked about my future & being near the end of my PhD program. She said “you are changing the trajectory for our family.”😭I can’t stop crying. Shout out to all of us striving for our families & communities. Because of them we are.

#FirstGen Friends, tell me the unwritten rules/culture you weren't privy to when you first started college. I'm giving a talk on Saturday, and I want to make sure I haven't forgotten any! Undergrad seems like such a long time ago... @AcademicChatter

More than thrilled to share that I’ve been promoted to full (tenured) Professor @harvardmed @Harvard. This only happened because of the hard work of many people, but I want to dedicate this promotion to my grandmas, Nonna Maria & Nonna Vevè. A #FirstGen thread 🧵 1/x

#FirstGen Roll Call! Say Hi 👋🏼 if you are First-Gen: Tag others. Follow each other.

My mom didn't get to go to middle school. Her dad only paid to educate his sons. My dad didn't get to finish elementary school. His dad died when he was a kid and he had to work to support his family. Tomorrow, I find out if I got a job as a doctor 🤯 #MedTwitter #FirstGen

To be a BLACK male #firstgen #Mississippian in #neuroscience, and receive a NOA for a NRSA#me @NIH F31 raises the bar. BUT to be the 3rd @OleMiss F31 recipient in HX shatters the ceiling. 1985-1987-2022 @NINDSDiversity @BlackInNeuro @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice #phdchat

Pretty wild to go from having to take the MCAT twice and barely getting into a Med school to graduating magna cum laude. I remember my self-doubt the night before my first day of classes. Honestly, proud of myself. #firstgen

Today it’s official: Tenure and Promotion! Pretty amazing for this #firstgen, Pell grantee. I am grateful to my family, mentors, collaborators, and all lab members past and present for helping make this happen!

As a PI who grew up with limited family income, it’s still difficult for me to drop large amounts of money for conference travel, even if the funding exists. It’s also hard to pay costs upfront, as someone who is #FirstGen on a single income. Why isn’t this talked about more???

I just got my letter that the review committee is recommending a promotion to Full Professor. I am so grateful to all those who helped me over the years. My younger self would have never imagined it was possible! #firstgen

Hi #MedTwitter! I’m Vanessa Mora and I’m thrilled to apply into General Surgery #Match2024 I am #firstgen and passionate about health equity research, mentorship and improving surgical outcomes for vulnerable communities. Looking forward to connecting!

I see that folks are getting PhD acceptances — Congratulations! It is still very early in the season, best of luck to those waiting. I was a #firstgen international student who didn’t know how to evaluate US PhD (political science) offers. Below are a few things I wish I knew:🧵

I’ve passed my defense! Finished with 2 kids, 13 publications, and a ton of amazing collaborators!!! @PhDVoice @Momademia #FirstGen #PhDone

Proud to be a future Latina surgeon ♥️🇲🇽 #ilooklikeasurgeon #firstgen #Match2024
