An NIH advisory group announced today that they're recommending the agency boost its minimum #postdoc salary to $70,000, up from the current $56,484. Many postdocs feel "underpaid and overworked," a co-chair said. My latest for @ScienceInsider: science.org/content/article/…

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio… 1/9

My PhD is 3 years old!

We found a continued misalignment between the training students receive the skills needed for the workforce outside of Academia. Industry jobs are stable/growing while Academia is stagnant at best. We need to be proactive in closing the gap between Academia and other sectors!
