FirstGen Success Stories: Studierende berichten über ihren Weg 
In Deutschland hängt der Bildungsweg oft von der sozialen Herkunft ab – und genau hier setzt das Projekt „FirstGen Success Stories“ der Fakultät 4 der #UniStuttgart an.
Studierende, die als Erste in ihrer Familie studieren (abgekürzt FirstGens), erzählen in einem Video von ihren Herausforderungen, aber geben auch Tipps an andere FirstGens.
Hier das ganze Video anschauen: https://youtu.be/9uHUMAfdceI

"Gerade das Zusammenspiel aus eingenommener Machtposition (Professur), biografischer Bewältigung des Aufstiegs und eigener Reproduktion der verinnerlichten Ordnung des wissenschaftlichen Feldes müsste noch viel stärker reflektiert werden, um die zugrundeliegenden eigenen Vorstellungen von Leistung(spotential) und Güte wissenschaftlicher Arbeit aufzudecken."

@bmbf_bund Hallo BMBF. Easy. Wir reden über #ichbinhanna, #WissZeitVG, #Anschlusszusage, #Höchstbefristungsgrenze, #AufDauerBefristet, #DauerstellenFür#Daueraufgaben. Fehlende Ausstattung an Unis, verzögerte Upgrades von notwendigen Großforschungsanlagen, #ScienceAsAService. #Wissenschaftsfreiheit, #Fördergeldaffäre, fehlende #Chancengleicheit, #firstgen, #AcademicCrisisList. #Zeiterfassung In der Wissenschaft,#Drittmittel #Funding Das wäre doch gut für den Anfang. Freu mich!
Let's see if this place can do its #magic!
I am looking for fellow #firstgen #PhD students (independent of the field) to make a little #outreach series -- estimated release will be end of September/start of October.
Comment below what you do if you want to be involved. If you don't want to comment, shoot me a message 
Does anyone know of any #mentoring programs for #STEM fields/ #astronomy - maybe even with a focus on #firstgen?
It is happening!
Join me as I share the highs, lows, + everything in between on my path as a #firstGen student on the road to a #PhD. 
Let's explore the challenges, triumphs, failures, + the lessons learned along the way. 
Unfiltered, brutally honest. Stay tuned for ‚Buzzing with Bibi: My First-Gen Journey'! 
Follow #BuzzingWithBibi, & share with everyone who could benefit from this series!

@ninokadic @academicchatter Obviously I use mine in my name 
As a female academic, #firstgen and the daughter of a postman, granddaughter of a mechanic, I fought hard to get my doctorate and I am going to use it!
(I am a veterinarian, but it is not an automatic DVM, it is a separate postgraduate research doctorate, like a PhD).
There was a birdsite pile-on on female academics daring to use their titles, which led to the hashtag #immodestwomen & I have used mine since then. #academicmastodon

. As a #FirstGen academic, this milestone is in memory of my father and my grandparents 
. Their situated artisanal know-how on olive oil producing, fruit harvesting and beekeeping run deep as a theme in the book. The book is dedicated to my wonderful husband Mark and our son Edward for making possible everything I have achieved

Way too late because I started my new job in April but here‘s my updated #introduction:
I'm an applied mathematician enthusiastic about science in general and maths, imaging & ai (not only the methods but also the ethical implications) in particular.
I'm #firstgen, passionate about #equalopportunities & #sciencecommunication. Currently working as a postdoc in the image analysis group at the Centre for AI in Public Health Research, @RKI. Co-founder of @hermathsstory.

Brittly #Introduction continued: I like to use writing as a tool to advocate for change & feel it is one of the most powerful ways I can advocate in my current (very vulnerable) career stage. Last year, I co-authored an article with my MD/PhD cohort-mate Danielle Sawyer, advocating for increasing adcomm awareness/appreciation for the extreme hoops we have to go through as #FirstGen/#LowIncome premedical students. DM me if you wanna co-write something too! #MedMastodon https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1246

Brittly #Introduction continued: I am a #CommunityCollege alum from a #LowIncome background & #FirstGen college graduate. I am the only physician-to-be & scientist in my family. I also proudly identify as disabled and queer. The road has been hard af, to be honest! I will use my career to make science & medicine more accessible, making medical education/higher education a smoother path for CC students. My DMs are open if you need someone to proofread statements or just need to vent #MedMastodon
Help my students travel to present their research at a professional conference! (Yes - this is the state of higher ed in the US).

#IntroductionPost time! I'm part of the #TwitterMigration and was mostly on #AcademicTwitter.
So, I'm a Sociology PhD student in #Indiana studying #race and #ethnicity. I use #qualitative methods, #interviewing and am getting into #Arts-BasedResearch.
I'm #FirstGen, #MixedRace and #Queer, and looking to be more intentional about finding these communities on here. Trying to figure out how to be a human in #academia.

Good morning #LinguisticsMastodon. I'm a #firstgen college grad, #professor, #linguist and #interpreter. Looking for my tribe here on #Mastodon
@politicalscience Does anyone have good resources for students who want to go to grad school? For example: guides to writing application documents, sample personal statements from professors/current grad students who are willing to share, blog posts with advice on graduate applications, etc? Many of my students are #firstgen and I want to be a resource for them but my own grad school applications were a mess so I don't want to give bad advice.
Hello #ScienceMastodon.
My name is Verena Kohler and I am a #FirstGen #scientist, currently working as independent senior #postdoc at #UniGraz in Austria.
I am interested, how age influences #proteostasis, the balance between protein production, folding and degradation, and how #ageing affects cellular #communication routes.
For that, I am using my favourite #ModelOrganism, the baker’s #yeast, a lot of #FluorescenceMicroscopy and #HighThroughput screens.
Let’s talk #science !
