If someone asks me how to choose a good advisor, I will say: ask where they were May 1st 2023. Low pay for grad students and postdocs affects all researchers. This march is for faculty too! You can't say you're a supportive mentor if you won't advocate for a living wage.
Support Our Science Nationwide Walkout is TODAY! This is a protest to @cafreeland & @JustinTrudeau's #budget2023! SOS is advocating for increased federal investments in scholarships, fellowships & grants to support increased pay for grad students & postdocs #SupportOurScience 1/5

I found NSERC's letter for my PhD fellowship in 1980! I got $8500/year. To keep up with inflation, NSERC would have needed to raise fellowships to $20,572 by 2003, which they did! Good job!
But notice what has happened since 2003...

Le Devoir published our grad student union letter today. Canadian researches deserve better.

So impressed to see @CanningsNDP standing up for the next generation of #STEAM researchers in Canada, holding @FP_Champagne to account for a misleading budget announcement on funding at #CSPC2022. Time to #SupportOurScience @cafreeland @JustinTrudeau @jyduclos

Leave Twitter just because it’s fallen into disrepair under terrible leadership? Babe, I’m in academia.

I made $24k as a grad student at UCB… two decades ago. Inflation since then is 66%. #FairUCNow
BREAKING: 48K University of Calfornia TAs, postdocs & other student workers just walked off the job.
It's the largest strike in the US since 2019.
Many UC workers earn < $24k/yr. A PhD student I spoke to said they donate blood plasma to make ends meet.

There is no excuse for the inaction of @JustinTrudeau @FP_Champagne @jyduclos & @cafreeland, particularly since investment in the #nextgen of researchers is essential for innovation, economic growth and the retention of talent in 🇨🇦 #SupportOurScience 2/3
Simon Morvan 🇺🇦 retweeted
Everyone agrees—#grad and #postdoc scholars in 🇨🇦 should be paid more! How likely do you think it is that @cafreeland will announce increased @NSERC_CRSNG @CIHR_IRSC @SSHRC_CRSH funding for them in the #FallEconomicUpdate tomorrow @4pm? #scipoli #cdnpoli #SupportOurScience

What makes a productive #PhD student?
A. A SUPPORTIVE supervisor
B. SUFFICIENT salary each month
C. LIMITED working hours
That’s all needed for a PhD fellow to perform productively.

VERY disappointed that @cafreeland's #falleconomicupdate contains no solutions or relief for 1000s of government funded #PhD #MSc students & #postdocs across 🇨🇦 who are facing economic hardship. Many of these scholars are working in poverty! #SupportOurScience 1/3

Le traitement médiatique depuis 48H sur les méga-bassines n'est vraiment pas au niveau. Aucune explication de fond ou recul nécessaire.
Voici un article co-écrit par @florencehabets et @MagaliReghezza qui permet de prendre un peu de hauteur sur le sujet.
