I will die on this one: pay is the single largest gatekeeper we have in academia. This crap isn’t viable. It’s hurting people, and limiting the pool of talented folks that think it’s a good idea to do science or have the resources to do so.
We’re all thinking it

Guy time. This trio of Kwan and his two sons, Mondika and Djeke, has become a common occurrence recently. Most of the time they’re playing but I caught this uncommon quiet moment of the three resting together 🦍🦍🦍
