You can get a grant for anything these days

I was looking at the online television guide and came across tonight's episode of Nature entitled, A Squirrel's Guide to Success. I couldn't get past the first sentence of the description, "The top squirrel scientists in the world make groundbreaking discoveries..." After I got past the mental image of rodents in lab coats and glasses, I thought, I'm sorry, what? There are squirrel scientists??
