What would be considered an astronomically high research fund?
So, this is a bit of a trivia question I had for a story I was thinking of. Basically, the idea is to have the main character give a paleontologist a research fund of 100 million dollars. Now, I have no idea how much funding actually goes into this field, so I figured I should ask in order to get an idea what the reaction should be from the paleontologist in question.
Can you guys help?
