Princeton doing the right thing and removing graduate "tuition" so they can pay PhD students more. Why should a PI mentor pay the school tuition for their student in yr 3 w/ no classes? What is that money for? Should be research funds!
Princeton made a radical move on doctoral student finances this past week. Rather than try to put this in a twitter thread, I wrote a blog post about it: nanoscale.blogspot.com/2022/…

Mitochondrial fission and fusion are spatially coordinated at ER membrane contact sites, say Abrisch et al @CUBoulderMCDB @NorthwesternU bit.ly/2wahfbS @1robear27 @LLLackner @LacknerLabNU #mitochondria #ERLiterature

Abrisch et al show that fission and fusion machineries converge at #mitochondria-ER contact sites to provide a unified platform where fission and fusion are coordinated to balance mitochondrial dynamics and morphology bit.ly/2wahfbS @1robear27 @LLLackner @LacknerLabNU

Exciting work from Brett and our collaboration with @1robear27 and the Voeltz Lab!
