"Personal communications with entomologists suggest that past stipends were worth more than current stipends when adjusted for inflation alone, while the costs of housing, education, and healthcare have outpaced inflation for decades."

Yo! I just co-authored a top-tier #DayOneProject Urban Policy Memorandum w/ the Associate Director of Science Policy at the FAS is now @scientistsorg. “The 11 million+ Americans that currently live in historically redlined areas deserve attention from policymakers.” dayoneproject.org/ideas/putting-…

Thank you Chris Woolston and nature for covering Biology grad students struggle to afford to live: nature.com/articles/d4158…

Thank you Chris Woolston and nature for bringing attention to this important issue. Jane Petzoldt and I are grateful that we could contribute to this piece. PhD students face cash crisis with wages that don’t cover living costs nature.com/articles/d4158…

Salaries for PhD students in the biological sciences fall well below the basic cost of living at almost every institution and department in the US, according to crowdsourced data go.nature.com/3GcrZ9e

PhD students can't survive the status quo. Grateful to see that my nature story is getting noticed. nature.com/articles/d4158…

“There's no question that students are struggling to survive.” With inflation soaring, #PhD students call for pay increases that reflect the rising cost of living. My latest for Science Careers, News from Science. #AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter science.org/content/articl…

Thank you to Katie Langin and Science Magazine for including FLORIDA in her article on PhD Students Demanding Living Wages- this one definetly has a few more hot-takes from me, Michelle Kirchner and Jane Petzoldt: science.org/content/articl…

So thankful that Katie Langin was able to include so many student voices in this Science Magazine article! Jane Petzoldt, Shelly Gaynor, and I are honored to be among them! Ph.D. students demand wage increases amid rising cost of living science.org/content/articl…

Every National Academy of Sciences members were previously PhD students in someone else's lab. If we can increase diversity by providing a living wage for current PhD students, how many more amazing academy members can we make?

My dad is unfazed

There’s a lot I could say about this but the fact that by the end of this article, not a single concrete solution is given to address the issue at a systemic level is infuriating to say the least. Institutes have the money, they just don’t want to lose cheap labor.

This claim is even more impressive considering that the GRFP does not meet the MIT living wage in Raleigh ($38,191) livingwage.mit.edu/metros/39580

#PhD students have decried miserly wages for decades. Now, amid rising cost of living, the problem is taking on new urgency. fcld.ly/hi85s0g Science Careers

It’s not just grad students who are underpaid in academia 👀

PhD and master's degree students: Please consider taking this nature survey. We designed the questions to get at the heart of the graduate student experience. The survey runs through July 18. We'd love to hear from you. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Everyone's a paragon of DEI and mental health awareness until the exploited academic workers go on strike. You all wanted to change the tone of academia, not the conditions
