8 year old Sarah knew that ballet was not her sport. 28 year old Sarah is questioning if science was the right career. Graduate student and Postdoc pay has remained largely unchanged for these 20 years! We can do better for future researchers. #SupportOurScience

If Canada wants to stay competitive in research, it needs to invest in its scientists. Today we’re marching for liveable wages for grad students and postdocs because: 1) Students/postdocs are the backbone of academia 2) All work must be compensated fairly #SupportOurScience
