Graduate education — like academe as a whole — finds itself in a crucible moment brought on by the pandemic. On that much, many program leaders and pundits agree.

But Leonard Cassuto and Robert Weisbuch argue that the pandemic is highlighting problems that have persisted for decades — and, they hope, it will accelerate fixes for many of those problems.

When Kelly Gilkey was in high school, she sent an email to astronaut Pamela Melroy, asking if it might be possible for a person with a hearing loss like Gilkey to become a NASA astronaut.

“Amazingly, she responded and said the sky was the limit,” Gilkey recalled. “If NASA could fly astronauts who needed glasses to see clearly, who was to say what might be possible some day?”

The Thomas lab has several research positions open to senior PhD students, postdocs and other researchers holding PhDs in neuroscience or related fields. These positions are for taking the lead on projects in the lab that examine neuromodulatory signaling in cognition, with an emphasis on learning and memory in the hippocampus. Results from these studies will enhance our understanding of how memory is affected by acute stress, by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and by neuropsychiatric disorders that...
