@darachm @skryazhi @_miloj @s_venkataram Ugh a very interesting experiment thwarted. But whatever. Funny in retrospect. There’s a cool accidental rescue experiment that someone should dig out of @djjgresham freezer and sequence at some point lol

[Student Researchers United-UAW @sruuaw]

BREAKING: UC agrees to recognize SRU-UAW in its entirety! This historic victory was brought about by the tireless efforts of thousands of SRs who organized to win a union & a direct response to our massive Strike Authorization Vote. Now let’s win a strong contract for all SRs!

Lola 🐶 says “vote yes” to #StrikeOnNYU

[Grace Avecilla @Grace_Avecilla]

Not me crying because the undergrads I’m teaching were so supportive when I told them about how @GSOCUAW has been bargaining for a new contract and that there is a strike vote happening
