Yale has announced an across-the-board raise for postdocs, with salaries for 1st year postdocs starting at $65,000. Plus, the administration is giving PIs extra funding (for one year) to cover funding gaps due to the new policy. Seems like a good step! provost.yale.edu/news/postdocto…

We are hiring postdocs to work on the development of biomaterial-based treatments for autoimmunity and infectious diseases. Applicants should have a background in small molecule or polymer synthesis, good interpersonal skills, and a passion for science. @jhubme @jhumi

We are actively seeking motivated postdocs with a strong background in biomaterials science and intestinal biology, who possess expertise in organoid and other 3D culture systems. Please spread the word! #Jalili_Lab #organ_on_chip #host_microbiome jalili-lab.com

How do systemic PAMPs become accessible to cytosolic PRRs in vivo? Thrilled to have our work out Nature Cell Biology showing Host EVs capture and escort systemic LPS to cytosol activating Casp11 & pyroptosis. Congrats to Puja Puja Kumari, who led the work. 1/3 nature.com/articles/s4155…

Yes, as a PI, you can publish more papers by pushing your students/postdocs really hard. But NO, those extra papers will not improve your life. ▫️ They will only make everyone unhappier: - Your team members will feel burned out and depressed. - Journal editors will get
