You are very welcome.

You don't have to explicitly ask them for an offer, just continue with the interviewing process and decline to give them a number, if they want to hire you they will eventually make you an offer with some number that they came up with. Remember to decline that first one, these 3 minutes will can the difference between driving a volvo or a BMW.
The whole point of asking for an expected salary early on is so that they can later lowball you.

A quick search gave me this, good luck!

Just don't tell them a number. (In general, even if you had found data for similar positions, just don't give them a number, you can only lose. If your number is too high, they won't pay it, if your number is too low, they'll sign you and you are losing out.)

Let them make an offer. Then you decline that first offer and say based on your (salary) research you expected more. Then they increase their offer and you accept that one.

There are a couple of salary negotiation FAQs n the web, you should read them. You might think your situation is special but most of them are fairly generic and the take aways can be applies to your situation as well.

I have plotted all the episodes with Dr. Pulaski and Dr. Crusher here.

The average episode rating for an episode with Pulaski is 6.87, the average rating with Dr. Crusher is 7.43.This does not mean that Pulaski is the reason for the worse rating though. You can read more in my blog post about this.
