Grad students typically work anywhere from 40 to 80 hours a week, but #UC programs are assigning them 39% to 50% appointments, creating variation and lower pay, despite a new union contract.

The neuroscience program at Drexel University has PhD and MS courses. Our faculty members are passionate about guiding students and experts in a wide range of study fields, such as developmental, cellular, behavioral, and computational neuroscience, as well as in a number of diseases, such as autism, schizophrenia, aging, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury.

• NIH #postdoc, #postbac, and #gradstudent researchers are unionizing, partially to get a raise

• However, #Congress controls the #NIH budget (and doesn't like NIH very much)

• Twist: NIH already gave IRTA fellows a raise, but won't say where the $ is from

So where's the money coming from? External grant funds?

Varför är det redan söndag idag? Jag har inte haft nån ledig dag i veckan än. Jag skriver en memorandum om skatterätt och mänskligheten i Europa. Jag vill bara ha några timmar paus.😵‍💫

@christinegrothe #counselingmastodon #squeakywheel #gradstudent​ Sounds like a rough week (permanent reality?). Hoping the chronic conditions ease or the institutions bend.

On a less severe note, after about a month of bronchitis, I'm realizing what it means to be in an industry without sick leave.

Some weeks are harder than others. This was a week of feeling overwhelmed, insight into burnout and an understanding of how hard it is to be chronic in an ableist, institutional system. #counselingmastodon #squeakywheel #gradstudent

@jbeardsleymath yes to all this!

Jennifer van Alstyne, the academic designer, has resources to help.

@phdstudents

the examination reports for my thesis are in (I haven't seen them) and waiting on the associate dean for higher degree research to decide the outcome of the examination

@magpie I’ve been to 6 of the past 7 #AHA meetings, 4 as a #gradstudent. My rule of thumb is choosing something I’d wear to teach on my campus and “up” it with nice accessories (eg, a statement necklace). I’m not a heels-wearer in conferences because you are on your feet a lot, but if they have a pair, it’s worth taking them and having flats in their bag.

A short & sweet last post of the year. A brief rationale for how I chose my dissertation committee members.

Boiled down: I like them, (I think) they like me, and the rest worked out.

There have been a lot of new folks in Mastodon recently, so i figured I'd do another #introduction post.

I'm Artemis, an #AerospaceEngineering and #heliophysics #GradStudent at #CUBoulder in #Boulder CO. I'm helping to build a #Solar #SoundingRocket. I also love #backpacking #MagicTheGathering #MTG #MTGfinance and #DnD. I do a lot of arts and crafts, currently doing a lot of #MiniPainting. I like #running during the summer, and hope to try for a #marathon.

Writing to a #GradStudent that their seminar paper is #publication-ready.

Got an A in Machine Learning in Spatial Analysis. Hopefully, I can turn my project from that class into a paper in the next few months. Also got an A in Remote Sensing. Trust me, I know grades are not everything and I don't always get them, but it feels good because I really worked my butt off over the last few months. #gradstudent #gischat #datascience #academia #bragging
