I have run out of patience with the apparent silence of most US science institutions (and not just US) in the face of Trump & Musk's rampage. There are of so many facets of that, but in this column for @chemistryworld.com I talk about the assaults on inclusion. www.chemistryworld.com/opinion/scie...

I've taken a closer look at UKRI's new training grant terms and conditions and there's some good additional support now on offer, particularly for disabled researchers and those who need to take a break from their PhD. But the value of that is eroded if stipends stay too low to cover living costs

submitted 32 days ago • 0 comments

With UKRI's announcement that it's increasing PhD stipends by 8%, I've updated my chart of stipends v minimum/living wage since 1999. From next October, PhD students will take home around £100 a year more than someone working 37.5 hours a week on the living wage.
