If, like me, you work with kind and supportive colleagues, you know firsthand that collaboration and collegiality can shape and strengthen a project. That 35% of NIH employees experience harassment is not only unfair, but fundamentally at odds with NIH's mission: do good science.

The NIH is refusing to agree to enforceable protections against bullying, harassment, and discrimination in our contract negotiations. Read our op-ed on how these issues affect us Fellows and why we need stronger protections. medium.com/@nihfellowsuni

SOLIDARITY FOREVER MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!

We won our union! We are the largest union of federal employees to form in more than a decade, and the first union of Fellows ever at a federal research facility. We’ve made history together. 💪

Bahh the paper is out! Couldn't have asked for a better way to finish the 23rd grade! And thank y'all for reading. Hope you like it. Hit me up if y'all have questions :)

Mechanosensation is directly linked with reproductive health. Our new study, led by @RubyMLam, uses human genetics, imaging, and behavior to uncover how PIEZO2 and specialized perineal touch neurons influence sexual function. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Fellows make NIH work. I’m very glad to see the @UAW will be representing NIH workers and the @nihfellowsunite in their upcoming election. This is a great victory for the 4,800 fellows and the union!

We're excited that the NIH has decided to drop its objections and 🔥FIRED UP🔥 to vote #UnionYes! #NIHWorksBecauseWeDo science.org/content/articl…

After Nation intern @luc_pete reporting yesterday, the NIH has reversed its decision to block their fellows from unionizing with the UAW. The two parties will move toward an election in the coming weeks: bit.ly/3DNeLQ2



Dying to know what the executive director of SFN does that is worth $750k a year

Here is the latest available yearly numbers for their salaried employees, starting with their executive director at over $ 750 K/yr:

23 months, 27 institutes, 75+ buildings, 3 countries, 4.8k fellows, 60+ organizers, 3k authorization cards, and 36 pizzas later, the fellows at the National Institutes of Health have filed for a union, and we couldn't be more excited 💙 #NIHWorksBecauseWeDo #NIHFellowsUnited
