It was an honor to stand up and tell the next generation of scientists that while academia can be challenging, there is hope and we will change for good the system! Special thanks to @Symb10sis for organizing this impactful event and to @ISME_microbes for their support. Together, we're paving the way for a more inclusive scientific community. #ISME19

Only 2 days left to sign the petition! PhD students do the bulk of the research in most institutions. The advances in healthcare and technology that we benefit from may very well have come from PhD students. Lets at least pay them minimum wage!
#EMCRs make the system better for those who come after you! The petition to increase the #PhD stipend rate to the national minimum wage closes 24 July aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petit…
