Not to be cynical about it BUT a few safety papers a year with proper support is totally within the capabilities of a single PhD student and it costs about 100-150k to fund them through a university. Not saying that’s what Anthropocene does, I’m just saying chump change for those companies.

You are very off (unfortunately) about how little PhD students are being paid

		> You are very off (unfortunately) about how little PhD students are being paid All in costs for a PhD student include university overheads & tuition fees. The total probably doesn't hit $150k but is 2-3x the stipend that the student is receiving. Someone currently working in academia might have current figures to hand.
