Join me in asking the Dept of labor to effectively implement a $50k postdoc minimum salary via overtime pay regs https://t.co/kvSqVaAlHY

Last chance to comment on salary regs affecting #postdocs http://t.co/8WA9y9owYk

@lteytelman Thanks! #FORSF2015 helped me finally get some of those thoughts out of my head/out in the world.

#FORSF2015 Don Gibson: @phdcomics is my therapy.

[FORSF2015 @FORSF2015]

Bahar. Science isn’t always run scientifically. No changes to PhD since its conception AGES ago.
#FORSF2015

[FORSF2015 @FORSF2015]

@DNAgibson unionize all early career researchers and abolish the the PhD.
#FORSF2015

[FORSF2015 @FORSF2015]

Alberts. Have early career grants that don’t require preliminary data and let you do something new. No rat race with older folks
#FORSF2015

[FORSF2015 @FORSF2015]

Job security for early career researchers is a significant factor in helping research make an impact. http://t.co/CVXrtzNqFi

Alberts. How do ensure that staff scientists stay productive? Too little competition?
#FORSF2015

[Raeka Aiyar @raekaaiyar]

Alberts suggests collecting data for NIH: would faculty give postdocs more independence if they came with own research funds? #FORSF2015

[FORSF2015 @FORSF2015]

Panel. We need have stable staff positions instead of PD.
#FORSF2015

[FORSF2015 @FORSF2015]

Staff scientist need be able to apply for RO1 and similar grants.
#FORSF2015

[FORSF2015 @FORSF2015]

@schwessinger. Make sure that independent PD funding stays with the PD and is not taken away by the institution e.g UC.
#FORSF2015

[FORSF2015 @FORSF2015]

P-value. Let’s found more PD with independent grants.
#FORSF2015

[FORSF2015 @FORSF2015]

P-value. If we lobby NIH now we can enact change right now and not tomorrow. Money can be quickly redistributed to training.
#FORSF2015

[FORSF2015 @FORSF2015]

@docfreeride we need to build a sustainable scientific community and make society value science as public good.
#FORSF2015

[Future of Research @FORsymp]

Alberts would like to put pressure on NIH rather than Congress #FORSF2015
