Since around this time of the year, tax return commercials invade our televisions, I thought I could share an experience that is related to that. In my five years of postdoctoral experience, I have been fortunate to be able to cover for my own salary through a grant from a local funding agency, and a postdoctoral fellowship from a national funding agency. I have been given an increase every year following the NIH table that is used as reference for postdoc salaries.
