“师妹,你真的要走?还是为了他?”师姐的语气并不意外,只是有几分无奈。
她点点头,悄悄的退了出来,一缕秀发垂下,挡住了漆黑的双眸。
师姐静静地站了一会儿,然后缓缓地把门锁扣上。。。。。。
(1)
大卖场。人来人往,旌旗招展。
有人奔的热闹,有人随地吐槽。
每个人都挂了一个牌子,有写:我文艺;有写:我普通;有写:寻师妹;有写:找师兄。
她想了一下,在自己胸前写上:新人报道。
“哗-啦-”围上来一群人。
“新人,奔个片片吧。。”
“等奔”
“你长得好看吗?”
“pai”
“re”
“你是男是女?”
“吃。。”
“楼上你个吃货。。”
突然,远处跑来一个人,边跑边喊,“号外号外!家版有大坑,火速围观中!!!”
整个世界,霎那间,清净了。

哗哗的海潮涌起又落下。终于,一缕晨光划破了天际。
她站起来,笑笑的转身离去。“师兄,我已经来过了。”
身后,海水悄悄摸去了沙滩上模糊的字迹:说是寂寞的秋的清愁,说是辽远的海的相思
。。。

暮秋。
图书馆里一如既往的暖洋洋。她用手支着头,一脸迷迷糊糊的幸福,大概又是在故国神
游了。我走过去,拍拍她的肩膀,“师妹,How are you doing? Presentation 准备好
了吗?”
“啊。。呃。。师兄。。你一定要去呀, cover me...”她打了个寒战。“吧嗒”一声
,手里的书落到地上,封皮上整整齐齐的写着:中微子的理论与实践。

这就是我的2011。

Battle over US overtime pay rules leaves many postdocs in limbo
Institutions struggle to respond after court blocks regulations that would
have increased wages for junior researchers.

A murky legal atmosphere now surrounds overtime-pay regulations for postdocs.
An ongoing fight over overtime pay rules has left many US postdocs in
financial limbo. Labour regulations set to take effect on 1 December would
have effectively increased wages for many of these researchers, but on 22
November a US federal judge in Texas temporarily blocked the new rules.
Some universities are proceeding with planned salary increases for postdocs,
but others have cancelled — or at least, temporarily halted — changes to
researchers' pay. The uncertainty over how the legal battle will play out is
already affecting some postdocs' career and family plans.
“The injunction coming down, especially right before the holiday weekend,
was really disheartening,” says Colm Atkins, a postdoc at the University of
Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. His institution is cancelling the raises
it had planned to comply with the overtime rule. “I know postdocs with
spouses and families that were really looking forward to having that safety
net.”

One couple, both postdocs at the University of Massachusetts Medical School
in Worcester, had decided to try for a baby because their combined pay rises
would have allowed them to afford childcare, says Sonia Hall, a fellow
postdoc at the same school. But the institution has decided not to go ahead
with the increases, so now they can’t, she adds.
The US Department of Labor finalized the new wage rule in May. The
regulation made overtime pay, set at 1.5 times a worker’s hourly wage,
mandatory for people making less than US$47,476 per year, once they work for
more than 40 hours in one week. The average postdoc salary in the United
States is about $45,000 per year, and many of the researchers surpass the 40
-hour cut-off. The previous overtime pay threshold was $23,660 per year.
Because it would probably have been cheaper and logistically easier to raise
salaries than to count the hours a postdoc worked, many universities and
government agencies had planned to increase annual wages.
Follow the leader
The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) will stick to its plan to raise
the minimum salary for postdocs paid through its grants to $47,484. This is
a 9% increase over previous NIH guidelines.
“A lot of places follow the NIH’s example,” says Kate Sleeth, chair of
the board of the National Postdoctoral Association in Washington DC, which
has been advocating for a minimum postdoc salary of $50,000 for more than
two years. “I’m hoping everyone follows suit. And to be honest, if
institutions don’t increase their salaries, or they go hourly, I think
eventually the numbers of postdocs who are attracted to those institutions
will dwindle.”
Even though they are no longer legally compelled to, many other institutions
— including Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, the University of
Minnesota in Minneapolis and Boston University in Massachusetts — are going
ahead with their plans to raise postdocs’ minimum salaries above the $47,
476 cut-off.
For those that aren’t — such as the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor —
it is not clear whether they are temporarily pausing such plans or
abandoning them entirely. The Future of Research, an advocacy group for
junior researchers, is tracking institutional responses to the regulation
and its suspension on its website.
Sending a message
Sleeth was not surprised to hear that the regulation had been suspended. “
We were kind of waiting to see if someone was going to challenge it,” she
says. Twenty-one states and a coalition of businesses filed a case against
the rule in October, arguing that the Department of Labor had overreached
its authority. The judge blocked the rule from taking effect on 22 November,
until he could decide on the case. It's unclear when he will do so, or if
the Department of Labor will challenge the ruling.
The timing of the injunction couldn’t have been worse, coming so close to
when the regulation was supposed to kick in, says Sleeth. “It’s almost
cruel.”
“When you're at the bottom of the pecking order, even when you're highly
educated and skilled and motivated, it's hard to ask for a raise,” says
Tess Eidem, a biochemistry postdoc at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Her institution will let individual researchers decide whether to raise the
pay of their postdocs.
The increased wages would have been more than a pay rise, Hall says. They
would have sent a message that postdocs are respected and their work is
valued. “They’re a major driving force of the data collection and
discovery in the scientific enterprise, and they want to feel like they’re
not hiding in the shadows anymore.”

你老板很牛啊,学徒竟然有好几个院士,那个医生也很牛,做postdoc目的是研究,不
是挣钱,人根本就不在乎那点钱。
所以应该彻底废除postdoc,要么没有工资,要么就是full pay staff。
