    Grant proposal:

    • salaries: 100k
    • fish tank and equipment: 20k
    • chemical supplies: 500k
    • animal acquisition and maintenance: 50k

    We justify the expenditure in this study with the need to repeat the experiment up to 500 times to reach statistical significance. The ethics committee approved the project after testing the sample of preliminary evidence we provided them with.
