I've learned that slashing budgets is always difficult - no matter which department :(

I find it hard to justify but as an R&D engineer, I think I'm a little biased!

When it comes to staying afloat, it's worrying about the current situation rather than the future that's most pressing. ...that doesn't make it any less frustrating though.

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male.

Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
