#NOBCChE2016 was FANTASTIC and beyond what any words could express!!! So great seeing soooo many young aspiring chemists and chemical engineers pursuing their doctorates and other professional degrees! And the FRIENDSHIPS.... when I tell you I made some TRUE friends from similar backgrounds from around the US, it was VERY refreshing !!! This picture shows some of us who formed an immediate bond (we didn't know each other before the conferences) and we became inseparable throughout the conference... we hail from the University of Michigan, Penn State, The Ohio State University, University of New Orleans, Clark Atlanta University, and Louisiana State University... all pursuing our doctorates in chemistry ! #womeninstem #womenofcolorinstem #goneconferencing #teambeadingbytrevab #womeninscience #phdivas #chemistrydivas #sistersinscience #chemistrylove #youngchemists #raleighnc #dreambig #anythingispossiblewithgod (at Downtown Raleigh)

'PhDivas' discourse across disciplines and differences

As friends and scholars, doctoral students Elizabeth (Liz) Wayne and Christine (Xine) Yao found common ground amid their academic and cultural differences through a mutual fascination with myriad topics, from pop culture to how to survive in academia. And now, they discuss them for a worldwide audience every week.

The African-American cancer scientist from Mississippi and the Chinese-Canadian literary critic/English scholar from Toronto first met when they were graduate resident fellows together at Hans Bethe House. Talking and laughing together during house dinners, they were soon joined by a gaggle of interested undergraduates.

Last spring, they were inspired to make the discourse public and launched a podcast that has found listeners in six countries.

On “PhDivas,” they share issues of academic life, contemporary culture and society in conversations that bridge the STEM-humanities divide. They often discuss the “similarities, differences and difficulties” they observe in their experiences, including challenges facing women and young scholars.
