Emory's labor lawyer likes to talk about our student hat and our employee hat (sometimes we are fully students, sometimes we are fully employees). I will be (literally) wearing my Employee Hat to bargaining on Tuesday, just as I have (figuratively) worn it during every experiment of my PhD.

We know. The trainees know. We can read. The silence from our PIs, from our programs, from our institutions... It does not help. We feel insane, like we are freaking out for no reason. The core idea of science is confronting reality, facing the truth of the data. Please say it out loud. 🧪

Inside me there are two wolves. One that wants to graduate and one that wants to remain employed.

I knew it was possible: say hello to the $300 monitor I got at the thrift store for 25 bucks

I thought I was at least kind of cool, but they were playing Khruangbin in Publix so I'm just Publix Cool, which isn't really very cool at all

I also do a turtle dance in locations that I associate with food

Man, I'm 33 next week, I make $38,404/yr (most I've ever made), and looking at the news I'm about to be incredibly unemployed. But I'm a student right now, so there's no unemployment insurance for after I graduate. Sorry I'm not in a great mood about the economy.

I will never forgive the State of Georgia for making car shit sync up with birthdays. Truly so rude.

Jobs-wise, NIH funding has a pretty excellent bang for your buck

Doing my part in the union slack to say, yes, the NIH situation is That Bad and, no, if anything the university understated the downstream impacts in their email to keep from freaking people out. (What a time to be bargaining for increased PhD student stipends 🙃)

Not to be all "I'm special" but this feels like a uniquely bad time to be graduating with a biomedical PhD Honestly, please, please let me know if there was a decidedly worse time, it will improve my morale

Not to get too intense about everything going on but it is really an ideology of death run by evil skeleton people who drink from a dread altar of blood

They say "the squeaky wheel gets the grease", but the squeaky wheel is bad. I do not like squeaky wheels and do not wish to be one. I want to be a perfectly functional wheel with a preventative maintenance schedule.
