6 months into bargaining, @IcahnMountSinai still refuses basic workplace rights. Today, we delivered an open letter signed by 400 senior researchers and postdocs @spocuaw, calling on them to reach a fair contract so we can get back to doing the research we love. #FairSinaiNow

Global competition for scientific talent is accelerating. Canada, China, and the EU are investing heavily to attract researchers just as federal research priorities shift. Now is the moment for New York to double down on investment in life sciences.
The Chinese government is ramping up its support for science
