So I understand this correctly, these study sections are cancelled and these grants will never be reviewed? essentially cancelling the submissions?

but the whole point of the apollo program was to work on rocket booster technology for ICBMs.... Did his teacher ever ask what his dad did in the military?

1.) be patient getting started takes time
2.) every time in the 1st 6mo a colleague asks to get coffee do it.
3.) it’s a marathon not a sprint.
4.) you will make mistakes it’s fine
5.) there’s a lot of this we were never trained for.

Pretty cool. With help from some friends modified a 3D printer to make a fraction collector. It cost $200$ instead of 1500$ works perfectly.
