Funny, #notfunny

📢 On August 7th, we will begin voting to authorize a #strike. This comes after hundreds of postdocs @Columbia + @IcahnMountSinai joined mass meetings in support of this move at both campuses. More than 3 months since we started bargaining we say #EnoughIsEnough #FairContractNow

1146 postdocs from 8 major NYC academic institutions answered our survey on working conditions. We present our summary report to read and share: https://t.co/6H77dD16sa Conclusion: NYC postdocs are dissatisfied with the combination of low salaries and high cost of living in NYC.

Hey @MTA any reason OMNY stopped accepting chase cards? My digital and physical cards aren’t accepted anymore despite having sufficient funds and working elsewhere.

CPW-UAW, the union of Columbia postdocs and associate researchers is here and ready to bargain! We are here to negotiate our second contract ✊ #cpw #bargaining #unionpower

You won’t find a kinder and more engaged mentor. So excited for you!!

So proud of @endicytosis . Behemoth of a paper and exciting implications for immune memory research!

Super cool.

Hola. Probablemente esto no tenga mucho alcance, pero vengo a contaros la nueva DESFACHATEZ de @sanidadgob . Han dejado de financiar de repente el tratamiento CRÓNICO que tanto yo como muchos otros pacientes recibimos, pasando de costar 32-48€ mensuales a costar 3200-4800€.

If he dares to say this in public, how racist can he be in private? @PurdueNorthwest apologies are not enough. Terminate this man now.

I’m curious about annual PhD tuition rates for grad students in biosciences across the US. Typically these are paid off PI grants. I know from anectodal data they can vary quite a lot but I don’t exactly know what they pay for especially after the student is done with classes.

On your way home after #SfN22? Check out the Kickstarter for a movie about #BenBarres - who loved @SfNtweets and went every year! https://t.co/HvfhQh75db @united @Delta @AmericanAir and all the other carriers - look after our scientists on their way home!

Unos dicen que no son de izquierdas ni de derechas para ocultar que son de ultraderecha y otros ponen al mismo nivel al comunismo y al nazismo para ocultar que son un poco franquistas.

Any #lgbt+ social happening at #SfN22 ?

The best analogy I can come up with here for the 'doing a thing' is a convention of millionaires agreeing to not discuss their bank balances during a millionaires convention as a means to fight income inequality. That is approx. the level of solution here. Not even a start.

Landlords with more than 100 units make 88% of all rent-stabilized units. Yet they keep them vacant for months to create fake scarcity in this housing crisis. This article is infuriating.

Pls RT: The Yewdell Lab is hiring 2 peeps! Unparalleled resources and collaboration, amazing benefits, beautiful campus, healthy work-life balance... AND DID I MENTION B CELLS!!!

I’ve been saying it for long: if academia wants to stay afloat, it needs to provide a competitive package to postdocs, better than industry or biotech. The love of science doesn’t cut it anymore. #AcademicChatter #postdoc https://t.co/Jte9wvOYFT

#StreetEasy needs a comment section so we can all laugh at the joke of apartments real state agents are listing nowadays…smh #HousingCrisis #NYC #housing #rent

Absolutely shocking. And somehow these same people, already in positions of power in academia, are the same ones pretending this is not a real problem. 🥲
