Wow! This is amazing. Debbie from My Debstinations actually sent me your website link and your IG profile and I am in awe of what you are doing! I love Antarctica so much and have so many memories. It still feels like a dream that I was there. I wish you the best of luck with your application! I plan to send you an email soon with a few pitches to collaborate with you on stories about Antarctica. I am inspired by your journey and rooting for you!.

Congrats on submitting the application! And, welcome to the “imposter syndrome” club :). Even some of the most expert and experienced Antarctic scientists feel that they don’t know enough or aren’t good enough. That they are just imposters.

I could go on at length about how it’s more luck than merit, and whether or not you are who the system is designed to support (in terms of disability, race, gender, etc…). I’ll spare you that rant. Instead, I want you to know that the outcome of your application is not a judgement of you personally. Accept or reject, your skills, dreams, and desires are still valid and still matter. As a scientist, I know from experience that the successful ones are often the most resilient. They have more failures and rejections, and more successes, simply because they are resilient enough to keep trying.

Good luck, and don’t give up!
