I think a lot of people in academia would likely say financial instability is an issue unless you have support networks you can rely on (which many do, inc myself, which I'm grateful for, but acknowledge when possible). Too few jobs= competition or issues w/finding jobs together.

Incase those with NIH awards and children are not aware, please note these progressive policies by the @NIH. Your institutions should honor the leave policy under your award even if they do not have a friendly leave policy. grants.nih.gov/grants/policy… @postdocparents

Love this rubric! Another factor to consider is making sure the lactation space is comfortable and welcoming for mamas—so that they can easily plug in, relax, and let-down.

Being a working, nursing mom is incomprehensible unless you’ve been there, so here’s some advice from someone who has. Even (or especially) if you're not pumping, you can push your institution to level up. @Bf_USA @MAMAVA @ResearchLion @postdocparents Changes or additions?

Absolutely, we speak many languages here since they were born! Those kids lived in many countries, but our #Latinxs roots are always with us - Portuguese & Spanish, Dia de los muertos, Frida, Brazilian Bossa Nova...

Definitely! We’re all just trying our best to get through this time in the healthiest and most realistic ways possible. If that means having class interrupted to gush over a little kid’s drawing I will do that! 🤣

Ohhh.. It gotta be you Zori! ❤️ At first I was honestly embarrassed... But with this insane period, and no clue when we will go back, it’s funny how we adapt and kinda relate more wity each other’s struggles, right?

When my classmates or professors have their kids or pets on Zoom meetings it makes the experience so much more bearable. One of my classmates’ daughter is always excited to see “Mommy’s school friends” & it makes the day so much better to know someone is that excited to see us😊
