PhD students are facing a cash crisis. I'd like to hear from those affected - students struggling to find accommodation, pay bills, seeking second jobs. If you have an experience to share please DM or email me at hannah.devlin@theguardian.com
Please RT. PhD students funded by @UKRI_News face a cash crisis. They are working full-time, yet earning less than living wage. With the rising cost of living and increasing pressure to deliver high quality research that benefits society, something needs to change. THREAD (1/10)
