Oh wait. 125k, so no, that is a lot more than inflation.

Seems like that is about aligned with inflation (a bit surprised that it isn't a lot more)

The Sternberg Museum is now also in danger of closing. So today here are old photos of a small Pteranodon from the George F. Sternberg collection. #FossilFriday

yeah that is my understanding as well. from the PO: "However, it does not say you cannot list it, only that is not required for you to do so. Use your start up package to complete the form." I dont really feel strongly about it, i just have no idea what I'd enter for person-months. I can ballpark

ANSP 22341, an unassuming slab from the Famennian Catskill Formation with portions of a few articulated lobe-finned fishes (Holoptychius) and a placoderm (Bothriolepis). Special to me as the first fossil I found to end up in a museum, collected during the first summer of my PhD. #FossilFriday
Red siltstone block containing blue-to-brown fish remains, including areas of articulated scales, fins, and skull bones. A collection label is on top of the specimen.

Need the hive mind I am a sponsoring scientist on an NSF PRFB proposal but as incoming faculty I have no current or pending grants yet; sponsoring scientists should not include the PRFB proposal in their C&P. in SciENcv, the Download PDF button is disabled/greyed out when no C&P is entered. Ideas?

A photograph of a computer screen displaying a Stuff news article dated August 18, 2026, with the headline “Mystery as US Air Force flight aborts Antarctic trip, returns to NZ.” A breaking-news banner repeats the headline, and a large photo below shows a military aircraft silhouetted against a cloudy sky.
A rugged, bearded man with long, disheveled hair stands in a dimly lit room, illuminated by pink and blue light and surrounded by smoke or steam. He wears a heavy jacket and holds a pair of wooden-handled objects in front of him.
