This is really not okay: just 4 minutes!?! I hope this school I love realizes that it will lose more than its DEI office staff if this happens. Where are our leaders?

One of the worst parts about these attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs is that it hurts ALL students. Those who’ve been on campus know that those of us who care about mentoring and DEI tend to be the ones that support and nurture many students on campus.

Our department is hiring two *2* new faculty and I am SO excited to have new colleagues, so please help spread the word and apply! As a perk, one of the new faculty will likely be my direct neighbor 😁 med.unc.edu/biochem/about-us…

I have the great privilege of knowing many wonderful people in academia, but Krishna is absolutely one of the best! Doing cool science (with admittedly the best pictures), mentoring students with care, advocating for many... The department that snags him will be so lucky!

You may have heard of the good news that Princeton decided to set a higher postdoc salary minimum ($65K) than the one from the NIH ($55K), in short postdocs got an overdue raise to offset inflation. Let me tell you how we got here.

The @UW is proving yet again that having a Fellowship (which brings in money!) is a PUNISHMENT. The reasoning that UW does not "have the resources to determine which Postdoc Fellows might be not be eligible" due to the terms of their fellowships is asinine and infuriating.

Please explain to me why getting a competitive fellowship is a punishment. @UW is increasing salary to $65,508 for all postdocs starting 1/1/2023 EXCEPT for the ones awarded with fellowships. And we are already losing all the retirement benefits for being a fellow.

Now published in Research Policy: I looked at 27k postdoc salaries across the US, their relationship to cost of living, tenure-track job prospects, and how things have been changing over time. Here's what I found: doi.org/10.1016/j.respol.202…
