I was an #OverheadCostJob. I was a lab tech for two research yeast labs at JHU. I earned enough money to pay off my student loans and for a new car. The first new car in my family for well over a decade. Then, I applied to grad school. I'm the first PhD in my family.

I was a staff research associate at UCSF! I did some “research” work sectioning, staining, and imaging mouse tissue, but I also did a lot of grunt work- ordering supplies, managing mouse colonies, genotyping, etc. #overheadcostjob

Schau mal was beim Hashtag #OverheadCostJob kommt.

I agree #OverheadCostJob I am a professor who relies on the ppl and other services provided by indirect costs on grants. This move will lead to BIG layoffs and economic hardship to communities

Every week seems to be Shark Week, aka Bite-Off-Infrastructure Week. What a typically naive and disastrous move to blindly gut all support costs for research! That's not how ANYTHING works. (1/)

Exactly.

#OverheadCostJob need to unite as very little publicity is ever given to the jobs they provide. Often out of limelight, glue holding everything together.

I have a confession

I was an “overhead cost”.

I was a beaker washer, agar plate pourer, research secretary. I was paid by “overhead cost” fees. Loved it.

Those “overhead cost” jobs allowed this rural kid to become a physician.

Multiple #overheadcostjob: I learned the ropes as a technician, I helped trainees find their footing in science and develop writing skills, I oversaw consortia to find therapeutics for Ebola and COVID, and I helped conceive and write grants that secured funds to keep the lab going.

I am an #OverheadCostJob. I help labs manage their $$. To ensure they spend fed $$ as promised. I make sure the lab has the security to push medicine forward, train students, and help young investigators succeed.

I take on this worry and administration so that they can come in and do the science.
