Are you (or someone you know) interested in pursing MS/PhD studies in development of binocular vision and/or motion perception? How these change with typical/atypical visual experience in childhood? Using behavioral, modeling, EEG, or fNIRS approaches?

One week longer, one week stronger! We're back on the picket lines until UW agrees to fair contracts.

[UW Postdoc Association @UWPostDocs]

Our postdoc union is fighting for a fair contract that will benefit all current and incoming postdocs over the next 2 years. If you're joining the strike tomorrow, please sign up for in person or remote picket line at https://t.co/e8QzwVRWe1. Hope to see you there!

[UAW 4121 Academic Workers @UAW4121]

We haven’t reached agreement with UW yet. Our strike begins tomorrow. Join the fight at https://t.co/g9xAWlmc9d

[UW Researchers United-UAW @uwrunited]

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.

[Rebecca Bluett, PhD @blu8rj]

As @UWPostDocs and @uwrunited researchers prepare to strike, here's your reminder from a UC colleague who was where we're at just a few months ago: “We’re not lucky to get paid at all, we’re severely underpaid for the skilled work that we do.”

[University of Iowa Postdoc Association (UIPDA) @UIPostdoc]

Me still waiting on an institutional response to the NIH reminding universities they can treat NRSA fellows like full employees.

[Rebecca Bluett, PhD @blu8rj]

Hey @UWPostDocs, MANY UW faculty are told not to discuss bargaining AT ALL; and they're given very little info even though our contract absolutely impacts them. That's not right, so please share this faculty-written letter with them & ask them to sign on: https://t.co/RFEu1frSV8

[UAW 4121 Academic Workers @UAW4121]

IT'S OFFICIAL: ON JUNE 7, UW POSTDOCS AND RESEARCH SCIENTISTS/ENGINEERS WILL STRIKE unless @UW agrees to fair contracts! @uwrunited
