6PPD-quinone, the byproduct of a chemical added to tires to keep them from breaking down, is lethal to coho salmon. People and organizations throughout the region are figuring out how to control 6PPD-quinone pollution and remove it from stormwater runoff. https://t.co/qepTz5cmQT
@jeffersonmok Chris can always tell how scary I think a movie is by how much time I spend plugging my ears.
But my problem isn’t so much being scared DURING the movie. It’s later… they haunt me.
Don’t forget: Tomorrow 1-3 p.m., we’re hosting an interagency webinar about 6PPD, a chemical that’s toxic to aquatic organisms. Review materials before the event, then submit your questions. We’ll answer them during the live event. Details: https://t.co/mStFaioeiU
The misleading language @UW Admin distributed on Wednesday about a “strike by visa holders” is UNACCEPTABLE. Sign on to this letter of support and solidarity with international students and scholars: https://t.co/ifpLjJHL9G
Good morning! @UAW4121@uwrunited are on Day 3 of our strike. @uw has been intimidating the international members of our union. I implore my colleagues at UW and beyond to sign on to this letter condemning this union-busting behavior: https://t.co/Xw6xVRYcA3

UW Postdocs & Research Scientists/Engineers power the university’s research mission, but after months of negotiations, admin refuses to agree to fair contracts. So today, Postdocs, RSEs, & supporters are out in force on the picket lines shutting it down. @UAW4121@uwrunited
More than 2,400 UW Researchers and Postdocs with @UAW4121 are on strike today. They claim that the university hasn't offered fair wages, benefits and protections against sexual harassment, leading to many being unable to afford to the region's high cost of living.
Solidarity with our UAW siblings who are Research Scientists and Postdocs on strike right now @UW. University management failed to bargain in good faith and meet fair demands. Sending solidarity, love, and good picket weather!
Picket lines opening in 20 mins! If you want to support University of Washington Research Scientists and Post-docs, you can donate to our strike fund here: https://t.co/vEqJrcklG9

.@UWAthletics loves to brag about how highly ranked @UW is - it’s an effective marketing and recruiting tool
To be a world class university you need to pay the researchers who earn you the accolades
Support researchers by giving them a living wage @amcauce
We have not yet reached an agreement. Unfortunately we're still seeing some misinformation from @UW Labor Relations about what is and is not allowed in anticipation of a possible strike. Here are some FACTS and Fictions.
#FairContractsUW#UWPostdocsRSEs#UWworksBCWeDo
Today is our last scheduled bargaining session with @UW (though we've communicated that we will still be available beyond that as needed). Wedneday June 7th is the first scheduled day of strike action if we still don't have a fair contract.
