It’s postdoc appreciation week and a recent study found postdoc depression & anxiety rates are rising. Why?

- underpaid
- underutilized
- overworked
- unappreciated
- lack of funding
- competitive atmosphere

Postdocs are seen as “trainees” as a way to exploit cheap labor, despite expertise.

FlyBase, a Drosophila database, will lose a third of its team in early October because the Harvard grant that covered the employees’ salaries was canceled. Scientists warn that losing FlyBase could devastate fly research.

Harvard University lays off fly database team

The layoffs jeopardize this resource, which has served more than 4,000 labs for about three decades.

Girl, similar thing happened to me recently. I had tickets to the 25th anniversary concert of Disturbed’s first album (the sickness) and they canceled their SF show because of a basketball game. 😭

Being an academic right now feels like riding in a car that has the check engine and low fuel light on, and you know you there isn't a gas station for at least the next three years.

How long before it stalls in the middle of the rode?

How long before you get off?

How long before we all get off.

came across an email i sent a friend 2 years ago: "anytime i break form, i find there’s almost zero tolerance for anything different/innovative. i trust the audience enough that they’ll see what i’m trying to do, but the editors do not."

cheers to breaking form and making shit happen your own way.

Need some ephyz advice so please repost:

I am using a multiclamp 700b and clampex. I keep having an issue where my cells die after I transition from the membrane test in clampex to current clamp in the multiclamp commander.

Does anyone have any recommendations for making this transition.
