PhD students, and academics in general, are not paid enough, especially given the inflation. This is a major problem that is forcing many below the poverty line, and out of academia.

To solve this problem, we’ve created a platform where academics can earn more money from their academic skills that they already have.

It’s called “Academic Tasks Solutions” (@Academic_Tasks on Twitter, make sure to follow).

It’s kind of like “Fiverr” for academia where academics can list academic services to help other academics, and get paid for them.

For example, you might be good a programming. Posting a job where you can write codes for other academics can earn you more money.

Or, perhaps you’re good at transcribing interviews. There are hundreds of thousands of academics who have interviews that need to be transcribed. By offering this academic service, you can earn more money.

Or, maybe you’re good at making figures and images. EVERY academic needs good figures, and most of us don’t know how to make them. Providing this service allows every academic to get someone to help them make good figures for their research.

Or, perhaps you have experience in a particular method, like running western blots. Many academics need to learn how and don’t have the expertise around them to learn from. By offering to teach them, they get to learn how to do it, as well as the tips and tricks for making it work better, and you earn more money.

Or, maybe you’re good at writing CVs and helping people get jobs. Posting jobs to help academics with their CVs or other aspects of their job hunt will enable you to make more money.

Or, perhaps you are good at statistics and can help someone determine the “p-values” of their work. Post a job offering this service and earn money off of this skill.

These are just a few skills you might be able to offer, but they don’t even scratch the surface. You have so many skills to offer. Be creative and post jobs on every skill you have because there are academics out there who need them.

Academic Tasks Solutions is a true community where academics help each other, and get fairly rewarded for their skills.

All academics have valuable skills that they’ve developed through working in academia. Academic Tasks Solutions provides a way for you to make the money you deserve from them.

And Academic Tasks Solutions operates on academic conduct where academics get acknowledged for their work.

How does Academic Tasks Solutions work?...👇

Come join us!! In MouseTRAP we have lot of cool things to do. We got a total of 17 fiber photometers 16 systems to perform in vivo optogenetics in rodents while performing touchscreens. However, we need more people to make possible the magic! Please DM if interested.

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about what to include in DEI statements given my previous tweet. Here are my thoughts for people of various demographic identities 🧵🪡

"When things don't go to plan" was the call @eLife that triggered a spontaneous late-night write-up describing my career. Now published🙂. Hope it helps in a small way to 'normalize' permanent postdoc/scientist positions. https://t.co/kuxfXcNmz4
