Okay, I'm going to pin this one because it's probably the most important aspect of what I work for.

If you're a #graduate student in #Canada

You have access to all of the academic supercomputers and cloud computing facilities that are part of the Digital Research Alliance of Canada FOR FREE

Not sure how to use a supercomputer? We also do a lot of training!

There's no catch! I promise, there's no catch. Think of it like you think of your local library. You don't wonder why they let you in and read whatever you want for free, right?

Students need to make sure that their PI has created an account first, because they'll have to be approved as a member of a lab.

Run, don't walk to https://ccdb.alliancecan.ca/security/login and get started!

If you're a #faculty member in #Canada

Whatever the role, #lecturer, #researcher #researchAssociate it's the same thing for you! Just get your account before your students and staff. Same link.

If you're an academic research collaborator outside of #Canada

You can also use the resources for free if you get sponsored by a Canadian researcher that already has an account. Again, for free. As long as you use it for a project you both collaborate on, you're welcome!

Next week, we'll go through the yearly process of allocating resources to our power users. That process is basically like a grant application and that might also be interesting to some of you. I'll post about it when I'm in the thick of it, I guess!

At #CERN we mostly employ engineers, but from time to time there are job openings for #writers and #editors. CERN Courier magazine currently has a graduate opening for an Associate #Editor.

The position is open to graduates from CERN member states with a Master's degree and not more than six years' experience post-graduation. Full details below.

If your network includes people who are interested in #science #communication, please boost!

I am Ruairidh. I am a graduate student. I am a member of CUPE 3909 and definitely could be more involved. Here because mstdn.ca was my first home, and I'm back. Seems like the local feed was better. Occasionally will do some self-confessional type toots. #introduction #graduate #academia #introduction

Bourque Bearskin & Victoria Dick of #Tseshaht are currently working on creating a #curriculum, “from the ground up”, called the #Indigenous #Graduate #Education & #Nursing #IGEN program for #UVic.

For Bourque Bearskin and Dick, the work they’ve been doing over the last few years, including the development of the #MastersProgram, is better aligning #healthcare with the principles of #UNDRIP.

She's the prom king, queen and everything in between: Meet the only #HighSchoolGrad in #KingsCove this year.

Despite her being the only #graduate, Maggie's ceremony will be much like any other. There will be a #graduation gown, speeches, toasts, a few dances, food and a decorated hall.

"Everybody gets a big ceremony. So just because she's in a class by herself doesn't mean she doesn't deserve to celebrate the 13 years that she's gone through school."

I am honored to be presenting my work on #FindingtheRightWords in UCLA's Americanist Research Colloquium. I wrote this #memoir w/#neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller about my father's early-onset #Alzheimer's. He became ill when I was a #graduate student in the #Berkeley #English dept. so speaking about this to grad students (& faculty) in the English dept.@ #UCLA is especially meaningful. I'll share what I know now about #dementia & #grief & what I wish I knew then.

Waking up to read this post makes my morning extra special

She has done incredible work - from her dedication to creativity, she deserves every bit of the wonderful results she’s now enjoying, & will continue to enjoy as she advances in the journey

I am so proud of her. A huge kol hakavod כל הכבוד to her

I share it with the hopes that her success using Hebrew 1, 2, & 3 Books will motivate others in their journey as well.

While the share of the #workforce who have degrees in US & UK is broadly similar, the 'graduate premium" in UK (outside #London) is much lower than across US.

Is this a demand or supply issue?

Given US & UK have relatively similar economies, we come back to the UK's #investment problem:

too little investment produces too few #graduate jobs, so many graduates work in jobs with no real degree requirement.

The UK needs to capitalise on its graduate much better.
