Congratulations ITG, I have no idea what that means but I think it's like becoming a black belt at Jedi shizzle. :-)

ITG 🇮🇸
Som, it is basically a luxury travel slush fund for my upcoming sabbatical. I am part of an international working group on "Climate Change and Arctic Resources" with members from all the 8 Arctic States. There are three fixed meetings I have to attend; then I do a 3 month stint in Washington DC; and I keep the change (reality: use it for traveling to more places in a bit more comfort). It is quite significant in my very, very tiny academic pond.

It is the thing for which I had to make the stupid video that was causing me ridiculous levels of stress. They must have been convinced by my "listening face" and my spiel about how brilliant I am with people. Little do they know...

It is not official yet as we have to sign the contract. And there is a high risk that when Trump gets elected he abolishes Fulbright because he thinks it is something to do with Madeleine.

Wow, that’s a great achievement ITG, however much you want to downplay it.
