“Juliana, thank you so much for your content. It impulsed me towards applying! I have learned a ton and, above all, your experiences and tips have helped me navigate my Ph.D. both at the academic and emotional levels”.

“Although I already wanted to do a master´s, this community showed me that it was indeed possible. It would be great to create a conference between Colombian women in different areas of science to make our job more visible and empower more women and younger generations of our country to dream big. I would be happy to participate and have a friend who is an astrophysicist who would also love to!”.

“We were both accepted to the Ph.D. programs of our dreams. You are truly a role model. Thank you for your help and the generous support you give to all of us, even when to you it is invisible, for us this has been a huge help”.

“Thank you for sharing scientific information in a language that is easy for everyone to understand”.

“Your content influences my motivation to continue studying and learning more about my profession”.

“I have always been afraid of even thinking of applying because of the possible rejection and how overwhelming the process can be. With this community I now feel more motivated, I feel supported and sure that I can do things even if that generates me some anxiety. I have not applied yet but haven been researching how the process and paperwork is to apply for a scholarship in Japan. Thank you very much! I hope that you know how impactful your work is”.

“I live in Bogotá and I applied for a 100% scholarship to pursue my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry. I was confused on whether I really wanted to study science but each one of your videos and seeing how you worked as well as you excitement while doing it, motivated me. You are my inspiration to study science. I admire you a lot”.

“I applied to a postdo that I really wanted but was not very optimistic about obtaining because of my background. What happened? After various months in the process the offered me the position 🙂 Thank you! There are many of us away from home, fighting for our dreams, and this community has helped me not to feel alone”.

“I like how you transmit knowledge. It is easy to understand and entertaining. I would love to know more about living abroad and what have been the biggest challenges. It is great that you also have moments to just talk about trivial day to day stuff”.

“Your tips on how to apply to grad school and also how to survive in Academia always help me! I think it is great how you communicate science, it is truly amazing and I wish I can do it sometime in the future. I think your platform is going to be even bigger than an Instagram account because you have all the potential!”.

“I applied to Edinburgh, Manchester, Warwick, and Durham universities and was accepted in all! I admire you very much and I think that the work that you have done with this community is incredible. You have had a real impact in me and also in my mom who is your fan.”.

“I am also Colombian and graduated not too long ago from my Ph.D. at the University of Pittsburgh. I am now an Assistant Professor and I mentor master´s students. Your perspective has helped me reflect on how my own graduate experience was and have a better idea of what my students´ needs may be. Congrats on this project! and on your Ph.D. I wish you a lot of success in these last few months, the job market, and the future!”.
