I found NSERC's letter for my PhD fellowship in 1980! I got $8500/year. To keep up with inflation, NSERC would have needed to raise fellowships to $20,572 by 2003, which they did! Good job! But notice what has happened since 2003... @SupportOurSci

I still can't believe the shapes crustaceans can become. As thought crab weren't already good enough!

Was just reading a thread about #mantisShrimp and have realized Rainbow Rambo may be the best name I've never thought of for Odontodactylus scyllarus.
