Maybe we could start a meetup or something for us all to meet each other and talk about how grad school is going for us, our research interests a little more (possibly making some future collaborators), and if you're not currently in a graduate program then maybe we can help answer some burning questions that you just haven't posted on the forums yet! If anyone's interested I can start a meetup or something for u
