The latest episode of the Humans of JILA podcast spotlights the JILA Association of Graduate Students (JAGS), a recently formed group dedicated to supporting the graduate student experience at JILA. Whether students are just beginning their graduate journey or nearing completion, JAGS provides resources, fosters community, and promotes professional development to help them thrive.

In this episode, JAGS leaders Kazemi Adachi, Conall McCabe, and Anya Grafov share insights into the group’s goals and initiatives. They discuss JAGS’ core pillars—mentorship, community building, and advocacy—and explore the exciting projects currently underway, all designed to create a more connected and supportive environment for JILA’s graduate students.

The work of JAGS would not be possible without the generous support of the JILA Physics Frontier Center (PFC) and STROBE (two NSF-funded centers), and external donors. Their contributions ensure that JAGS continues to grow and enhance the graduate student experience.
