Please consider signing this proposal to improve support for postdoc parents. It will be sent to the NIH in the next couple of days, and Seattle is well represented so far - let’s keep the momentum going! 👇👇👇

[Postdoc Parents for Change @postdocparents]

Postdocs with families are being pushed out of academia because of regressive policies and insufficient NIH support. Sign our proposal https://t.co/fazEaFLbG8 to ask @NIH to support ALL postdoc parents. #changeNIH #supportpostdocparents #WomenInSTEM
