Hey all, I reached out to the PO of my NIGMS MIRA to ask if the gov't shut down, and rescheduling of study sections, might allow for some accommodation to the standard rule that PIs cannot resubmit a MIRA while their MIRA (or other RPG) is under review (waiting in scores or summary statements) 🧪

Three shots, three goals for McKayla Zilisch.
The Appleton, Wisconsin native has tied the program record for goals in a period with three, becoming the first #Badgers player to do so in 14 years.
Before today, the senior had scored just one collegiate goal during her rookie year in Bemidji.
