@bkhl @bkhl thank you!

do you happen to know how stipends are set there? it looks like people apply directly for a PhD spot in a particular lab, so could someone negotiate pay/benefits?

(Context: one of our big problems at my (US) uni is that stipend amounts are mandated by each department and can be radically different (monthly values between $1400 - $3250). in that sense, we’re looking at the university as an employer and asking for pay parity across depts)

does anyone have any experience with graduate student unions? specifically with the process of unionizing
