After 21 years, #postdocs hope for a raise! March 19 I gave a press statement as CAPS/ACPP Chair alongside Postdocs, grad students, and MPs to highlight the urgent need for increased postdoctoral research funding in #Budget2024 🇨🇦 We hope to work together to support the future of Canada’s research!

Came here to read about the research funding, and instead read the comments and had incredible entertainment over a lectern. The internet is sometimes fabulous.

That's good to hear. If I may ask, how does the postdoc salary compare to the median wage in Canada? I always think that it'd be a good idea to essentially set the postdoc salary to the median wage (but then again, I may be of the opinion that this should be done with all salaries ;-))
