Reply to comment by Scatheli in Temple University deactivated health insurance of all striking graduate workers today by TransFattyAcid

19k is barely above what I made as a PhD student at UMaine a handful of years ago and it should go without saying that my cost of living was a hell of a lot less ($500 / room rent) than Philly.

Also, anyone saying your lab work, teaching responsibilities, and mentor work is part time are being pretty silly.

There are 168 hours in a week. Working 50-80 hours a week is only part of that time. /s
