Graduate students do a lot of "ghost work" (aka: unrecognized, undocumented work & labour) under the guise that it&
#39;s "part of our training".
It&
#39;s still work - and we deserve recognition.
It&
#39;s the work do that&
#39;s nowhere to be found on our CVs, but takes up a lot of our time.
I&
#39;m talking about: reviewing manuscripts, helping write grants, etc.
We spend so many hours doing these things, but it&
#39;s not reflected in our formal measures of productivity.
There&
#39;s a disconnect here.
