Let's be real folks. It's not PIs keeping postdocs from being paid $100k+. That salary plus fringe is HALF of a modular R01. Plus PI salary support and supplies then an entire R01 becomes the personal grant of one PD. Not sustainable. Funding levels must rise for this to happen.

You know, we already have a big journal that will review everything you send it, makes no decisions on impact, and has a decent rep. It's PLOS ONE. Does everyone treat it like the future of science? No they treat it as a dump journal for stuff you can't get published elsewhere.

@kaden53535 Great question. But I've got one first. Is any of this statistically significant given those big honkin error bars? You wouldn't be making politically convenient conclusions based on bad data would you?

Truly baffling to read this and then decide it's some vast indictment of academia. Why should anyone feel entitled to retain vast sums of scarce public research funds while they go do something else for a year? Do the work you took that money to do! NIH is being responsible here!

Cell-based methods aren't ready and probably never will be. More people will be hurt if the FDA uses this new ability to forego animal testing - and companies will apply prodigious pressure for them to do so. They don't care if people are hurt, only $$$.

The Sun does not cause skin cancer. Skin cells built of inferior fats (omega-6 rich seed oils) are more susceptible to cancer & aging. Build your skin cells out of the animal fats they are meant to contain and play in the sun!

My children don't watch TV. My children have also never sullied their feet with unclean earth. They absorb spiritual energy to live without consuming corrupt flesh. They are Ascended Elder Gods and are poised to render terrible judgment on the wicked. Not a coincidence.

@mTOR_Leaks It’s amazing you can post that thinking it exonerates your hero. The report maintains he’s not credible, threatened lab members, tolerated and fostered sexual harassment, slept with a mentee, and more! At this point you might be more disgusting than he is.

PSA: no one is obligated to secure a guilty verdict from a court of law before they publicly criticize a sex creep. Especially since the conduct was legal and will never go to court. All you're doing here is making life easier for a predator.

Hey academics, can we do politics now since we're being directly threatened? Or do you still want to pretend that if you ignore the political threat it will go away?

Bacteria in our BRAINS?? Surprisingly, we observe translocation of gut bacteria to the brain via the vagus nerve. This occurs in mice fed a high fat diet, or without dietary changes in mouse models of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and autism. 🧡

My general advice for junior PIs is to always have a letter from at least one senior scholar on your grant promising to babysit you. They don't even need salary they can be a consultant. I did this for years and it often helped, never hurt.

how do other #newPIs respond to reviews that say β€œthe grant requests a postdoc but the applicant is a new PI and has never supervised a postdoc.”? Like, how are we supposed to start supervising people if we don’t get the chance to hire them first anyways?

Ah peer review, never change "Why aren't you studying this in the brain?" Because all the data we showed you points to spinal cord "Why aren't you studying reward?" Because we're studying pain! "You didn't tell us how you'll handle the viruses" We aren't using viruses!

the basic problem they're trying to address. In one sense the critique isn't fair because no one journal can solve this problem. It's a widespread issue from all of us as individuals to the funders to our institutions. It will take huge collective action to solve. Even then we
