Some days I thought we would never see SLS launch. That was absolutely beautiful! Took a good minute to realize my mouth was still open😮

Tens of thousands of University of California academic workers -- including teaching assistants, graduate student researchers, postdocs, and more -- are on strike as of today. Unlike the wildcat strikes at UCSC in 2019-2020, this strike involves the entire UC system and is a union-sanctioned strike. LA Times article with more info: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-11-14/university-of-california-strike-academic-workers-graduate-students
48,000 UC graduate student workers go on strike

The UC strike is calling for better pay and benefits for teaching assistants, postdoctoral scholars, graduate student researchers, tutors and fellows.
