...ass - PiT, a very good friend of mine has a data recovery business with a very good success rate. It's in Vancouver, but people ship him hard drives from all over North America. He also has a policy of no data, no fee... drop me a line if you're interested and I can give you his details.

Successfu... posted Feb 08, 08:23am

...economic downturn - My institution typically wants an RO1 plus a renewal OR two RO1s...However, given current funding times, additional funding can take the place of the second RO1 or the renewal. I just got tenure on one RO1, an R21 and about 7 foundation grants and three collaborative grants (at least 50K per collaborative grant). At least they gave me a break on the second RO1 -- but it does seem like it's getting tougher even though they gave me a break. 2 of our faculty who arrived before I did are in danger of being ... posted Feb 07, 04:57pm
