This isn’t terrible news. Until we can pay and treat our postdocs better, they should go find the other great opportunities out there.

In 2018, we (w @NolanRyWilliams) found that an opioid antagonist, naltrexone, blocks #ketamine's antidepressant effect. Is ketamine an opioid? What else does naltrexone do? We took these Qs into mice to get some answers, with @mCherryGarcia and many more biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Salaries in academia are never going to be as high as at DE Shaw. But I also think that academics need a significant salary increase, at all stages of their career trajectories.
Exactly this. This is the correct take and prediction of the direction academia is inevitably currently trending towards.

Morning radio show is playing “guess the salary.” A postdoc comes on and makes a valiant effort to explain academia in 30 seconds. Every radio host guessed the postdoc was making nearly 2x their actual salary. Let’s fix that. @AcademicChatter @OpenAcademics @thepostdoctoral
“Fentanyl exposure” is not a thing. Full stop. You can be “exposed” to fentanyl but unless you ingest it *non-accidentally* then you are not at risk for symptoms from fentanyl or fentanyl overdose/toxicity. This is a basic science concept that has been proven over & over & over.
Folks, the goal is to improve the experience of the postdoc, not increase or decrease the number of PDs. The way it is isn't sustainable. The # will go down obviously bc the NIH budget is finite. Pressure congress to appropriate more. Pressure able institutions to start paying.

Massive win, and well deserved. Unions work. I hope other grad students, postdocs, research staffers and even professors (especially ECIs at public institutions) are taking note. It's possible to win and get these needs met.

Fewer, better paid postdocs >>> more, underpaid postdocs
Fewer, better paid postdocs >>> more, underpaid postdocs
This 100%
If the rebuttal to ⬆️ the post-doc minimum salary to $70K is “but then there will be fewer post-docs!”, then so be it. You can’t convince me that $56K is a sufficient salary for a post-doc, especially in high COLAs. And especially for ones who want a family.

An NIH advisory group announced today that they're recommending the agency boost its minimum #postdoc salary to $70,000, up from the current $56,484. Many postdocs feel "underpaid and overworked," a co-chair said. My latest for @ScienceInsider: science.org/content/articl…
This is long overdue. High hopes that @NIH can find a mechanism to make this work or I think we'll continue to see the growing exodus of talent from academic science.

The passion she has was just aweinspiring. Needed this.
The extra $8 at the end of the new starting postdoc stipend of $61,008 is so everyone can buy themselves a sweet little treat.
Organizing all my data from the last 4-5 years before I leave is bittersweet. It’s really an eye opener of how much work I did. Reminds me that getting a PhD is hard and I’m so proud of myself for all the amazing things I accomplished that I never thought I could do or learn.

I know a very talented researcher who received the @NSF GRFP in neuroscience (amazing!) but was not admitted to any PhD programs this cycle. Any #neuroscience PhD prgms able to consider a trainee with 3 yrs funding so they don't need to decline the award? (Can't defer it seems)
After five years as a professor, I am thrilled to announce I’ve been awarded tenure. I’ve wanted to be a professor since I was a kid. Now I get to do it forever. Thank you to everyone who helped me get to this incredible milestone.
Another additional budget cut for this year's renewal over the already substantial cut from the original grant budget. Awesome. This is all totally sustainable.
Going to the same high school as LeBron has finally paid off--I won second place in the Vanderbilt School of Medicine Men's March Madness tournament. If I hadn't picked the University of Akron to win a couple of games early on who knows what would have happened. Until next year!
A tv show I would watch - Shark tank style pitch but for academic labs.
universities are interesting employers because in the rare instances when they actually hire people to fill research positions, they then make the researcher apply for funding elsewhere to have the money to do the job they were hired to do
I’m away for a week and come back to this! So many questions: who made this? What is the prize and who gets it? How is SST getting crushed???
