Puerto Rico has now been a U.S. colony for 125 years, and its current status is a sham with no meaningful self-rule.

How much longer will Americans implicitly accept their nation’s colonial control over PR—and/or pretend statehood is around the corner? https://t.co/UqHOXtbUPP

Solidarity with the Temple graduate student union. $19-$20k a year is not a living wage nor is it fair compensation for graduate student labor.

@versedinversed This sucks. Student and early career researchers deserve credit for the massive amount of work they do and adding someone as an author basically costs the PI nothing...
