So much for the grant I submitted last September, which was supposed to be reviewed next week.
Hardly the biggest tragedy on the current scale of things, but it will force me to severely downsize my already small lab.

Congrats; love this. it’s so important to understand these differences, partly so as to optimally leverage & understand assortative effects. Such dynamics will grow more powerful as scientific inference is increasingly democratized & as existing health discovery institutions/initiatives are degraded
