I know this is a foreign concept to most folks, but we scientists on university faculties – especially conservation/ecology types – generally do NOT do things "for the money". 1/n #sciencemoney
When I am awarded a grant, that money goes to creating a position for me to hire a grad student or post-doc to manage the project. I could request something like 1 month salary for myself (I'm only paid for 11) but I almost never do. #sciencemoney 2/n
That's the most I *could* do, though, i.e., get paid a full 12 months of my salary. With few exceptions (e.g., 13-month salaries), there's no way for us public scientists to get rich off grants. #sciencemoney 3/n
