Hey everyone,
As you probably know, science and research in Poland have been underfunded for years. A lot of scientists simply can’t afford a decent living or don’t have access to the resources they need. Universities also have to keep cutting costs, and PhD students during their first two years don’t even earn minimum wage.
That’s why the scientific community has started a petition that anyone over 16 can sign, and I really encourage you to do it! We want research funding in Poland to reach levels seen in Western countries, while right now the share of GDP spent on science here has actually been going down year after year…
Here’s the petition:

Also, tomorrow, Wednesday May 27 at 1:00 PM, there will be a protest in front of the Polish Parliament (Sejm). We’re trying to bring as many people as possible, so if you can, come to Wiejska Street in Warsaw tomorrow!
This action is completely nonpartisan and not connected to any political party or faction. Scientific progress is crucial for the development of the whole country!
TL;DR: PLEASE sign the petition linked above, and if you can, come tomorrow at 1:00 PM to the protest in front of the Sejm to support Polish science!!!
