Academia really is a roller coaster: My first PhD paper was rejected 11 times before being published, the second one 7 times. I was very close to quitting my PhD back then. Now, I won an award for these very two papers. What a ride! 🙃

One example why we're striking:
As a comparison to UW:
Graduate student wages have increased by 5.4% at WSU since 2015, but by 32% at UW over the same period
