Hey @harvard — maybe you could do this across the whole university? Salary minimum at FAS/SEAS is still $52K and doesn’t even increase over time…

finally a significant salary increase for HMS postdocs: starting at $60k in 2023. I hope institutions like @BrighamWomens take note & follow suit @bwh_postdocs (because fun fact you can be an HMS affiliate in an HMS building & be subject to a completely different pay scale!)

Best way to get to know your new bacteria? Infect it with phage! Check out my preprint 👇 where I used tn-seq to find phage resistance in Corynebacteria and ID'd new genes involved in mycolata envelope assembly

#HarvardPostdocSurvey | In conclusion, we strongly recommend that @Harvard amend its salary guidelines for FAS/SEAS postdocs urgently. Harvard has committed itself to being actively anti-racist and anti-xenophobic. (1/4)

this! we need to talk about how taking a job that pays ~3x less than what one could make in industry is a privilege that many can't afford + how this contributes to an increasing lack of diversity as we go up the academic hierarchy

Harvard childcare centers will be closed for the first three weeks of January, while @harvard is expecting parents to continue working, finding other care solutions on a short notice. #anxiety #stress #covid @ewarren

The FAS PDA has sent a letter to @Harvard admin urging them to reverse their decision to close campus childcare facilities in January. Here's a summary: (1) Harvard expects postdocs to continue to their research during this time, so they need to enable safe, reliable childcare.

1st paper of my PhD is on bioRxiv! Bacteria receive secret messages from kin during migration. We show that a conserved serine transporter enables self recognition. Molecular co-option of nutrient uptake may constrain the evolution of “message” proteins. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
The conserved serine transporter SdaC moonlights to enable self recognition

The conserved serine transporter SdaC moonlights to enable self recognition

Cells can use self recognition to achieve cooperative behaviors. Self-recognition genes principally evolve in tandem with partner self-recognition alleles. However, other constraints on protein...
