I know #AcademicChatter doesn’t like the idea that academia can be toxic but this is what trainees have to deal with. The costs are rising, the work is rising but the wage isn’t. Academia will only be attainable to the rich

The results of the world’s largest trial of a 4-day week (with no loss of pay) are out: ▪️ No drop in revenue ▪️ 65% fewer sick days ▪️ 71% less burnout ▪️ 92% of companies decide to keep the policy after the trial The conclusion is clear: we need a shorter working week.

So glad that @WesternU is stepping up to start addressing the financial crisis facing grad students. I hope other universities follow suit. news.westernu.ca/2023/02/wester…

Supporting my students at a rally to end graduate student poverty. @WesternU needs to do better to financially support our excellent student scholars.

5 celebs now down with COVID after the crowded, unmasked Golden Globes. Anyone organising academic events this year paying attention?

"Of more than 665 million cases worldwide, nearly 1 in every 2 people with COVID-19 is at risk of developing Post-COVID-19 Neurological Syndrome (PCNS).. PCNS mimic some of the symptoms after a stroke and younger adults seem to be at particular risk." pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/what-…

Whether the topic is: - Climate change - GMOs - Nuclear power - Vaccines - Homeopathy - Astronomy - Evolution - or Covid-19... ...People who disagree most with the scientific consensus know less about the topic, but they think they know more. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Someone who knows everything about what I went through with Long COVID, now has it and is telling people “I didn’t think it could happen to me”… after I spent months telling y’all it can happen to you. Don’t be ableist, we can all become disabled at any time. You don’t choose.

100% of research labs have LAB MEETINGS. 0% are set up to enable everyone to have a voice. This is how we flipped them to increase engagement hear from everyone and save time...

Honestly managing long COVID can feel impossible some days and I can understand the reasons behind why these statistics are true. Always remember, not everyone has the privilege of health

The workers—including researchers, teaching assistants and tutors—are fighting for higher wages, childcare subsidies, expanded family leave & more. 40% of grad student workers currently spend over half their pay on rent, per a union survey. More details: fairucnow.org

This is great news but also very unfortunate for those of us ineligible for paxlovid treatment due to long COVID symptoms/damage

I wish one of the takeaway messages from the pandemic was IF YOU HAVE A COLD STAY AWAY FROM OTHER PEOPLE. People will sneeze or cough and then yell across the room “It’s not COVID, I took a test.” Okay bro, I don’t want to catch your flu or RSV either.
