#GradStudents are arguably *the* primary producers of #research output at Canadian universities, and core contributors to the #teaching and #leadership missions of their institutions. **But how (and how well) are they compensated?** Let's take a look! A long thread 🧵👇 (1/n)

Today's population density map is Canada. #rayshader adventures, an #rstats tale

The last time Canadian grad students got a raise (~20 yrs ago), I was still learning how to go down the slide and hiding in the pile of leaves in my backyard. The next generation of Canadian scientists must be paid above the poverty line! #SupportOurScience

We need increased funding for #Research in 🇨🇦 #Postdocs, please show your support by joining your local organizing committees for the Nation Wide Walkout today!! The more voices heard, the better.

Great to hear from Laurel Schafer, member of the Bouchard report committee and FIRED UP for paying graduate students & postdocs a liveable wage! #SupportOurScience

#Budget2023 did not provide any funding increase for grad students and postdocs. Join me in sending the message that we care about graduate students and postdoctoral scholars by emailing your Member of Parliament #SupportOurScience nwmd.io/s/twitter/Zxc1…

Amazing showing at UVic today! Very happy with the turn out :) #SupportOurScience

Join me and #SupportOurScience in advocating for increased funding for graduate students and postdocs! The QR code here has an email you can send to the relevant federal ministers, or call your local MPs (info for those in Victoria).

Budget 2024 is currently being finalized - and after 20 years of stagnant funding, it's about time graduate students and postdoctoral scholars are included! Use the link to call, email, and tweet at decision-makers before March 8th👇#SupportOurScience supportourscience.ca/action-budget-…
