Join our free workshop, "Analysis and Integration of Single-Cell Neuronal Data in Python," on September 23-24, 2024 (two half-days).
Gain hands-on experience with computational workflows for electrophysiological, morphological, and transcriptomic data analysis
using the Python packages Pynapple, NeMoS, Navis, and CAJAL. See https://tinyurl.com/neuropython for details.

Virgin Media just informed me that my internet bill will go up by a whooping 17% this year. Not just that but in the future they will increase prices by inflation* plus additional 3.9% every year.
For reference: academic #salaries in the #UK have consistently been "raised" below #inflation. Today, a postdoc makes 17% less money than in 2010 (what a fun coincident). At the same time average UK wages have ~ kept up with inflation.
And don't even get me started on the USS pension scheme...
Fun times to be in #academia!
* of course any negative inflation (i.e. deflation) would explicitly not be passed on to customers
Data:
- academic salaries via https://www.hr.admin.cam.ac.uk/pay-benefits/pay-and-reward/pay/annual-pay-review
- CPI (consumer price inflation) and average weekly wages from ons.gov.uk
