Scientists at universities that have raised graduate student stipends: What have your administrations done to mitigate the costs to lab budgets so that the science itself doesn’t have to be curtailed? Examples of best practices would be appreciated.

We are thrilled to congratulate our very own Yeonwoo Park @whatdoidohaha for winning UChicago's Best Dissertation Award across the entire Biological Sciences Division.

Congratulations, Carlos! (And to all the awardees. This will be a great symposium.)

Quick fix: Universities stop charging overhead on grad student stipends paid on government grants. Every student can then get an immediate 50-70% raise — revenue-neutral for PIs, science, and society.
