Twitter for iPad : UC Davis has a program for students interested in going to graduate school but who want to take a gap year to work as a technician. They get paid full time technician salary and get lots of career development and grad school application help. prep.ucdavis.edu

Twitter for iPad : Woke up to the most beautiful image I’ve seen in the last four years. twitter.com/jenniferjjacob…
Twitter Web App : Val Langlois Congratulations!
Twitter for iPad : Gordon Pennycook Paid all because I did my undergrad at a Canadian uni back when tuition + fees were low and I worked a summer job at union wages that covered costs. Yup, I’m old. 😊 Also received some scholarships and bursaries.
Twitter for iPad : Tal Linzen Absolutely agree! We also can make sure to accurately describe the high skill level required for many of the tasks our RAs do for us.
Twitter for iPad : Also, pay for RAs and other lab staff must come from official accounts based either on start-up funds or grants. At least in my university system, I can’t use part of my university salary to pay lab staff (can divert summer salary, however).
Twitter for iPad : When minimum wage goes up, as it should (and to more than $15/hr), HR will adjust the pay scale accordingly. I will happily do as I’m told with respect to wages and salaries.
Twitter for iPad : The discussion about university RAs and $15/hr: In the U of California system, for ex, PIs don’t decide rates; we provide job description which HR categorizes and uses to set pay rate. Pay should not be based on PI benevolence but on collective bargaining and official pay scales.
iPhone : Jin X. Goh | 吴晋勋 That film makes me sob. “Not expect, only hope, only hoping the best for you.”
Twitter for iPad : Lauren No Chill Ackerman And hugs!
Twitter for iPad : Lauren No Chill Ackerman I think when this is over we’ll marvel at what we managed to survive. The combination of Covid, our leaders’ indifference and incompetence, and displays of overt racism, anti-Semitism, and fascism have pushed us to the limit. That we’re even here is a testament to our resilience.
