Stress + Estrous Stage = Changes in VTA Excitability @Regisshan @yukamiu16 and the @FriedmanLab’s study in @SfNJournals is the latest nail in the coffin of male-only mouse studies. By @CurlsPhD #neurotwitter #ScienceTwitter buff.ly/3GqX3UQ

In 2020 when I was a student rep, there were at least 25 students that I know of that were behind on paychecks. When I brought it to the attention of the pres at the GC: blank stares and platitudes. It was “out of our hands” and not their problem.
Graduate Center Faculty and student sign and can sign a Statement of No Confidence in the GC Senior Administration!!! Thank you 🙏 docs.google.com/document/d/e…

Our solution was to add a buffer to the system, so that if/when funding was held up (as was happening more and more with the pandemic) the students can still receive a paycheck to pay rent and buy food in one of the most expensive cities in the country

The response from the president: not possible. As a bandaid solution: an anonymous email address for students to send their issues to after an issue has already happened

It is highly concerning to see such deep issues continue to go unaddressed by the senior administration. This remains the case even after years now of students/faculty shedding light on the issues…

This can have a substantial impact on which people remain in academia. Postdocs with a safety net and without dependents can absorb the financial burden of doing a postdoc more easily than those without. More on that later.

Since it’s grad student appreciation week and a senior scientist shitposted on grad student pay this weekend; lemme share my story and how the pay issue at CUNY harmed me; and why institutions and PIs should appreciate grad students by paying them adequately and on time🧵

Not only that - it is illegal for international students to work in the US.

Dear CUNY folks, there is officially a student-pay hotline email: [email protected] Not sure how this works re payment streams through other campuses, but I personally think any payment issues should be logged here. Documentation is everything. Please RT to show others

Did anyone else get a notice that we’re not getting paid on Thursday? This is unacceptable. This is the first paycheck for many adjuncts since mid December. @ChancellorCUNY @Vgbcc1 #cuny @chronicle @PSC_CUNY @CUNY_CAP
