"We did all this while facing tremendous uncertainty—research-driven risk, a pandemic and geopolitical conflicts and tragedies no time can heal. Some of those things brought us closer. Some pulled us apart. But here—in this building—we came together. Science, friendship, and care should come first."

"It also made me realize how easy it is to isolate during a PhD, and how important it is to be honest, open—and not alone. I'm proud and happy that, in the end, we do come back together—because now we meet at conferences and talk about research across fields. Those connections matter."

"Some of us go on research visits, meet the authors of the papers we’ve been reading, connect with students from other programs. I met my future co-authors during that time, and I fell in love with the process—and with Macro—all over again."
