When it comes to higher education, the US Supreme Court rules that race doesn't exist, but your student debt sure as hell does!

[Eugene Scott @Eugene_Scott]

With affirmative action off the table, what will rejected applicants and their families point to as the new reason for why they were denied admissions to their dream school?

[Rep. Zooey Zephyr @ZoAndBehold]

What a shameful ruling.

Not only did this case stem from something that didn't happen (the plaintiff fabricated a couple), but to allow businesses to so plainly discriminate against LGBTQ people is to undermine the very principles that our civil rights legislation is based upon.

@striginechemist Extremely casual except at poster sessions (and then you can put on a business casual outfit). But then again I am fully on the ‘academics aren’t suits’ train.

Hey @UWArtSci leadership, we’re here & we'll be staying until you contact @amcauce and tell her she needs to negotiate a FAIR CONTRACT with postdocs TODAY.

We have kazoos.

Our federal funding landscape has been broken for a long time due to bipartisan support of science. PDs can’t keep shouldering the cost if we can’t make ends meet and pay our bills.

[Dr. Jacqueline Robinson-Hamm @JRobinsonHamm]

Wow. Dr. Tara Schwetz, co-chair of the @NIH Postdoc Working Group and Acting Principal Deputy Director of NIH, opened the session talking about how the perceived decline in postdocs is like a symptom of the overall health of the scientific enterprise.

[UAW 4121 Academic Workers @UAW4121]

Look at our power!!! Our strength in numbers will prevail over any attempts by UW Admin to isolate and threaten us. An injury to one, is an injury to all!
