In of April, 2018 I was notified that I was awarded the very prestigious NSF graduate research fellowship! Tears of happiness streamed down my face as I read the email while on the phone with my best friend Rob who is back home in Hawai'i. This guy was laughing at me mind you because he had no doubt in his mind that I would get the fellowship (He doesn't understand how competitive this fellowship is). For the 2018 cycle there were 12,000 applicants and only 2,000 awards were offered. It honestly feels amazing to not worry about funding for three years (more like 2, and the last year I will apply for more fellowships while I finish my degree :P). And I am really excited to learn a lot more quantitative/statistical modeling skills to understand ocean processes, fish populations, and maybe even model plastics??? Who knows what the future holds! :D
If anyone is interested in applying to the NSF GRFP and wants to chat about it feel free to email me here! Mahalo and Fa'afetai tele lava! \mn/ (New way I'm going to start closing my blogs now) Jenn
