Call for New Leadership

It is time for new postdocs to take over the leadership of qtPhDs! If you are interested, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us to learn more. 

For the time being, we will continue to lead qtPhDs and hold social events, albeit slightly less frequently.

As always, we are happy to hear from you!

Warmly,

*Each month we will be featuring a different pride flag in our logo! Our flag of the month is the Agender Pride Flag, which was created by Salem X in 2014. The flag’s black and white stripes represent genderlessness, the gray stripe represents semi-genderlessness, and the green stripe is an inversion of purple, which is used in the bisexual and nonbinary flags to represent both male and female. In this sense, the green stripe represents nonbinary genders that are not a combination of male and female genders.
