Have you ever thought, "Wow those MAS students do such cool work, I want to engage with them more"? Are you sad that COVID has cancelled your plans to attend or speak at S^3?

Have you ever wondered what your advisor or committee member struggled with as a graduate student? What they struggle with now? Growing Up in Science is a conversation series that is not about science, but about becoming and being a scientist.

It would be fair to look at America, in all its failings to afford "liberty and justice for all", and assert that it is broken--but in fact, quite the opposite is true.
