@savanna_itati Omg can’t someone cover for you?!? You are sick! When I was IOR for a course my TA needed coverage but no one was available. So I taught the lab! If another TA covers you, you can cover one of theirs in the future. What is the professor or instructor doing?!
@dog_rates You know the hearts of those people in the character suits probably bursting with joy on getting to pet a wonderful service animal. They get to tell them what good doggies they are!
@ecohugger Is this at a university? Do they have a union/labor contract? Because this could be a violation and should be grieved as soon as possible. Some of these have timeline to report
@AJMooreHealth @uaw_4811 The vote comes after grades are due for Merced and Berkeley. But not the other campuses. And this strike vote also includes Berkeley Lab. This means the strike also impacts Dept of Energy.
@AJMooreHealth @uaw_4811 And then to make it accessible you everyone, secret ballot online. This does take time But in the meantime make sure you are a member and vote! Get the word out so that the vote can be successful. The more people vote, regardless of of their choice, the more powerful
@latenightitati Is fighting this uphill battle taking more pieces of you? Are you trying to match a pace in this journey that is unrealistic and thus you should slow down? Asking these questions doesn’t make you a failure. It is important to check in with yourself.
@latenightitati You are more than the unrealistic metric academia forces upon us. Sadly grad programs don’t show all the myriad of options for many people except professor jobs. But there is so much more. Ask yourself, is this another bump in the road as your near the end? Or
@latenightitati That’s what’s important. If you need to step back and come back later, do it. If you never come back, that’s ok. Always pick urself. You can do incredible work that directly impacts people. State and federal jobs where you apply the skills you honed in grad school.
@latenightitati Academia tends to shame ppl for not getting a PhD. Typically it’s the grad programs fault for not fostering the right environment. You are still incredible for the analytical thinking skills you developed.
Ohhhh yes. Another one!

Thanks to our sponsor of this award, Conservation Nation (@ConservNtn).
@DanieladoingPhD@James___Morris Good I was about to suggest that! And they should give you back pay. This has been done for postdocs and grad students in other campuses on external fellowships.
