    57k a year is a decent salary if you live in the UK.

    A seasoned postdoc could expect to make 55K max. A professor a bit more.

      57k€/year is a professional’s salary in Italy.

      Average is 32k€

      With 57k€ you can afford to live comfortably, even get yourself a roomy flat, which is unusual for single individuals.

      *Exceptions may apply, see Milan or other big cities

      55k dollars in the US gets you a crappy apartment and a 7 year car loan.

        you dont even need a phd to get that 55k salary, might as well not go to grad school.

      Postdocs are definitely not getting 55k in the UK except maybe if something like medicine is special? The range is like 36-45ish.

      That is not a decent salary, that is so low. I made almost that much just out of college in the U.S. Once I made it just over 10 years as EE, I was double that.

Rules

  1. Don’t throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.


If you are here asking: “Is this a science meme?”

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn’t need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn’t a filing cabinet of facts, it’s a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what’s under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
