In re-envisioning @NIH supported postdoctoral trainees (directly + indirectly), together with institutions, we need to make sure postdocs are treated fairly. ACD 2015 made suggestions (see in the article) about equal benefits policy, which doesn't hold still.

Gratitude from @harvardmpa1 to all the postdocs for all the hard work we do. Postdocs drive research while facing challenges in the academic structure. We need a voice to change the academic culture, everywhere. @harvardmed come join our cause. #PostdocAppreciationWeek #postdoc

This weekend it was the Ist time I left Billie at home. Since I got home last night, she has been a homecoming blessing. She slept with me all night (she never does), she gave me so much love (purrss), & let me pick her up (she hates). My heart is so full. ❣️

Do you just walk by your living room at night and for a moment, stop and adore the Christmas tree and smell of the pine?🎄

Thank you @JonathanWosen @statnews for this piece highlighting the state of postdocs, claims of diversity, & ongoing efforts for change. Thank you for including our work @harvardmpa1 on postdoc salaries in the Boston area & recommendations to institutions & federal government. 🙏

"If the academic world is not warm and welcoming and diverse, it is going to die." My latest data-rich story for @statnews dives into how academia’s teetering postdoc system is imperiling efforts to diversify life sciences. Link:

Academia is a privileged place! Its a fact that postdocs end up leaving academia for financial reasons, let alone marginalised postdocs as its excruciating difficult with salaries we get. This report looks into how American postdoc salaries barely consider cost of living. @NIH

New paper “American postdoctoral salaries do not account for growing disparities in cost of living” I found that real postdoc salaries vary by ~ 29% ($15k) depending on where you live (and your university)

@JasonSynaptic Yeah, the categorisation of north-south is not entirely geographical.
