The PhD Balance team designed this word magnet set with meaningful words for expressing yourself as you navigate the excitement and pitfalls of academia.

Your donations will help empower graduate students to openly discuss and get help for difficult situations, from navigating academia to dealing with mental health struggles.

Pair this set with our Academia, Science basics and specialty field sets to make a unique vocabulary for your experience. Bundle 4 sets to get $5 off and free expedited shipping in the USA!

Best thing to decorate lab benches!

I bought several packs of the Genius Lab Gear word magnets and told my labmates about them. It was great watching all of them make up funny phrases and putting it up on lab benches and is a great way to help build community in a lab space.
