The world's GDP would drop by 30% if these people didn't get grants. Then again, maybe it would rise 30%. A man must believe in something. I believe I should have a grant to undertake cutting edge research, probably in Tahiti, to solve the above problematical and very concerning dilemma. Fair go!

A man must believe in something.

I believe I should have a grant to undertake cutting edge research, probably in Tahiti, to solve the above problematical and very concerning dilemma.

Myers. I am not sure how many more sites we would need before we can talk about an average global response. This would definitely mean some additional fieldwork to determine how significant the city versus rural effect is. In my own fieldwork, this effect is far more noticeable in Spring than under simialr conditions in the Fall. I am definitely puzzled by this, though I would guess it has something to do with augmented skin pigmentation. I wonder if the study was sponsored by Tommy Bahama?
