#Academia is plagued by many ailments right now: Lacking #OpenScience, low #stipend for PhD Students, low #reimbursement for Post-Docs, worrying work culture, bad #reproducibility and bad #incentives for research.

"You lay down with dogs, you come up with fleas" is a good description fitting all of these aspects. The mandarins upholding bad standards and beaten into submission by survivor bias are still the ones beating the drums.

How is this ever going to change in a system filled with rigorous people who fear rejecting standards for something new?

I am not sure, and I am slowly losing hope. If we (ECRs, PhD students) try, we get thrown under the bus. Others are already entrenched and cozy.

It's a conversation similar to climate change. Everybody thinks its bad but god forbid we lose an inch of comfort to solve it.

In the UK, #childcare were covered by the government for 3 h.

However, society expect adult to work 9-5 right? How many hours was that again? 3?

Obviously not. Not to mention if you have to commute.

So I need more hours of childcare. The cheapest I can found is 1800£/month from 7-6. Rent is ~1500£.

Guess #student #stipend a year? ~18k£. Around 1k something per month.

The message is clear: no kids allowed if you want to be a #graduatestudent in the #UK

If you got #PhD before 2000, what was your #stipend? I'd love to know your country and whether you were in stem or humanities. I'm interested in research degrees, not professional degrees (eg business, education)
