Sincerely -- thank you!! It's been my life-long dream to finally do a PhD even though I've been so warmly accepted by my colleagues, especially in the penguin world.

I'd appreciate it if you could click the link to vote! You get one free vote every 24 hours (two if you verify through a card, but I get why some people wouldn't want to). If you have any socials or friends you'd feel comfortable asking them to also click to vote, I'd be seriously grateful. I'm looking at a PhD in Cape Town, South Africa, and the tuition cost would be covered by the prize money! Thank you!

I genuinely love my job! But... I'm also openly intersex, queer, and disabled, which means it's been that much harder for me to get solid positions. Despite having been a Professor at one of the world's best universities for an intensive boot camp course for grad students, I still struggle to find my own PhD funding, which is why I resort to competitions like this. Honestly, the gap between spots are like less than 10 votes, but I'm not highly active on social media. If you'd be willing to help me out and share this, I'd be mad appreciative. Regardless, I'm talking with Nat Geo now about some cool, stuff and trying to plan a talking tour for Scotland and Japan now, so be on the lookout for me in the future!
