Something American ECR academics might be interested to know is that NSERC and SSHRC just raised their post-doc stipend to $70k last year, so if, I dunno, a dictatorial monkey were to turn off your funding and you were looking for other postdoc options, look north. www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca

Definitely going to miss Rev Dr Lauren bringing it back to Luther. “You know who did that first? Luther!”
