If someone asks me how to choose a good advisor, I will say: ask where they were May 1st 2023. Low pay for grad students and postdocs affects all researchers. This march is for faculty too! You can't say you're a supportive mentor if you won't advocate for a living wage.
Support Our Science Nationwide Walkout is TODAY! This is a protest to @cafreeland & @JustinTrudeau's #budget2023! SOS is advocating for increased federal investments in scholarships, fellowships & grants to support increased pay for grad students & postdocs #SupportOurScience 1/5
I found NSERC's letter for my PhD fellowship in 1980! I got $8500/year. To keep up with inflation, NSERC would have needed to raise fellowships to $20,572 by 2003, which they did! Good job!
But notice what has happened since 2003...

A la fin de ma soutenance de thèse j'ai tenu à adresser un message d'encouragement aux étudiant•e•s de l'@_aecbum. La précarité financière et les problèmes de santé mentale sont des problèmes bien trop courants aux études supérieures.
