As a a public education institution, we must remind you that the conditions driving the the strike we’re facing result from the systematic defunding of public institutions and the concentration of wealth by oligarchs. There are no fair working conditions without systemic change.

Our campuses talk a lot about diversifying graduate programs, but these conditions make grad school almost impossible for people from poorer communities of color. If you really believe in DEIBJ initiatives, this is the biggest one there is.

Relatedly, right now thousands of scientists writing their members of congress requesting passage of a federal budget that includes at least $49b for NIH and $10.3b for U.S. National Science Foundation.

My story is in the latest episode! As I embark on my next life history stage, it feels incredible to reflect, synthesize, and be heard.

this is great, but i have more than 300 words to say about the "Fundamental issues and challenges inhibiting recruitment, retention, and overall quality of life of postdoctoral trainees in academic research." 😬

Female mice are studied less than males in part because of a belief held by some that the estrous cycle makes all female mouse behavior more variable. But is this true? Check out our latest, led by @danarubilevy in collab with @shanskylab! bit.ly/3ZQEIHD

seeing lots of comments saying the NIH should follow suit -- if you agree please TELL THEM in the RFI due today: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n… in my RFI response, i am suggesting they adopt the cost-of-living adjusted GS-11 scale (federalpay.org/gs/calculator)

Boston-area friends: I am having my first solo art show later this month Industry Lab ! Come see art inspired by life's transformations. Take a zine and maybe make a zine. :)

Thank you The Harvard Crimson for covering our open letter to Harvard University leaders to increase postdoc compensation! Dr. Rachel L Harris Kelsey Tyssowski Harvard FAS Postdoc Association Harvard Medical Postdoc Association thecrimson.com/article/2023/5…

.Massachusetts College of Art and Design is SO LUCKY to have the amazing Dr. Caroline Hu joining them this fall. i can't imagine anyone better suited to this job and i know she will do AMAZING things! can't wait to come visit!!

Very happy to see my last and final PhD project up on bioRxiv, where we show how #evolution can act in the #brain to fine-tune conserved #behavioral strategies in different #environments! 1/7

New #TeamBurrow preprint!! A MASSIVE effort isolating how a SINGLE genomic locus leads to longer burrows in deer mice by changing motor pattern use. Cheers Olivia Harringmeyer, Hillery Metz , Charlie Rosher , Eris Mihelic , and Nacho Sanguinetti🥸 !! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to be at my first cosyne! And especially to be part of a fun workshop on comparative systems neuroscience on 3/4 organized by Siddharth Jayakumar and Anqi Zhang !

It’s CosyneMeeting workshops time! Join us tomorrow to think about what unique species and comparative work can bring to systems + comp neuro Siddharth Jayakumar #Cosyne24

Super excited to share my postdoc work investigating how mating and parental behaviors evolve using wild species of mice combined with single nucleus RNA-sequencing of the hypothalamus 🐭🧠🧬! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
