Less money


And another thing. We had a meeting of the College of Science & Engineering yesterday (of which the Biology Department is a part). They were explaining how the University and the College are trying to cope with the state of Texas asking for 7% of their unspeant budget back.


There were also warnings of a further 12% reduction from the state next year.


This does not bode well anyone, but I reckon it's a particularly ill wind for any new faculty member trying to get on her or his feet.


Not that I'm talking about myself, mind you. Well, not necessarily.


I should be writing a grant proposal now. Excuse me...
