We tried to change things as a postdoc committee but we only got platitudes and condescension from our Postdoc office. With a union, they were legally obligated to bargain over EVERYTHING . And we won so much!

We are strongly advocating for fair and competitive pay for postdocs. They 👏 Are 👏 Worth 👏This. Postdocs are not glorified students, they are full on scientists and deserve their due and a living wage. nature.com/articles/s41587-0… #science #research #postdocs #fairwage #iracda
Retaining postdocs by recognizing their worth

Retaining postdocs by recognizing their worth

Nature Biotechnology - Data from a postdoc salary and benefits survey may assist in retaining PhD holders interested in academia but considering alternate options owing to financial considerations.

Even bigger cheers now + even bigger call for implementation! For 𝘧𝘢𝘳 too long, spouses have been locked together via Spousal Consolidation student loans, even in the case of domestic abuse or divorce, and thus denied access to relief. Last night @POTUS finally changed that!

Faculty are 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD. I just remembered that when I was a kid, our window AC unit leaked onto our carpet and a giant mushroom appeared overnight. If you're 1st gen and you also had a mushroom in your living room I see you.
