Stanford Latinx Postdoc Association (SLPA)

Affording life in the Bay Area on a @Stanford postdoc’s salary is a constant struggle, according to survey results we’re releasing today. #Latinx #postdocs are disproportionately affected by monthly costs, living distance to campus, and financial stress. slpa.github.io/survey2022/
