NYC's mayoral campaign must focus on education
This year’s NYC mayor’s race is all about affordability, yet the candidates have given short shrift to the single biggest factor that impacts a person’s quality of life — education, which must be addressed in this evening’s first debate of the general election. Our public schools educate nearly a million students who are going to enter a workforce vastly different from the one we know today. Voters need to know how the next mayor plans to prepare students.
Canada could be a safe haven for US graduate students
These impacts extend well beyond balance sheets - slashing research jobs, weakening research capacity and causing program cuts that threaten everything from lab infrastructure to mental health services. In fact, this instability is to seek alternatives to Canada as a study destination. Unfortunately, Canada is also struggling to support its own graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.
Canadian science graduate stipends lie below the poverty line
Abstract Despite the critical role of graduate students in the Canadian research ecosystem (1), students report high levels of financial stress (2).

Amid the tensions of the Cold War, the charismatic revolutionary emerged as a leader and champion of socialist ideals.

Despite his fame and enduring interest in the revolutionary’s life, the time Guevara spent in Africa is often forgotten.

Analysis of financial challenges faced by graduate students in Canada
Introduction Graduate students play a large role in the research and innovation ecosystem in Canada. These students have already completed a bachelor’s degree and are enrolled in a master’s or doctoral degree. Most graduate degrees include full-time, independent research in collaboration with a Principal Investigator or supervisor, who is a faculty member at a university. This work requires laborious training and creates the foundation of research in Canada.

Rethinking the ‘cafeteria’ approach to community college
President Obama has made community colleges central to his campaign for social mobility. “For millions of Americans,” he declared in his January speech proposing free community college tuition, “community colleges are essential pathways to the middle class.” But America’s community colleges have a completion problem.

The Problem With Obama's "Free Community College" Proposal
President Obama’s ambitious proposal to make community college tuition free would certainly make enrolling in college more affordable. It may also induce students to stay there longer.
