Reminder that the Walk-out to Support Our Science is happening <b>Monday (tomorrow) May 1st</b>. We'll be leaving TRIUMF at 10am to walk to UBC, but you could also join the Walk-Out directly at Lee Square (outside the Nest) at 10:30 if you're running late.
We'll march to the UBC President's office at 11am so I'm planning to be back at TRIUMF by 12pm. </div>

I'm sure you're all painfully aware how low graduate stipends and postdoc salaries are, especially given how expensive Vancouver is. One of the main reasons that has been provided by TRIUMF management as to why they can't increase salaries is that expected
salaries are set for grant applicants by NSERC/NRC, so our supervisors literally can't ask for more money from the funding agencies. NSERC hasn't increased CGS scholarships since 2003, so the $17.5k CGS(MSc) scholarship should be worth $26.4 today. Yet despite
