The population declined to 152 by 1790, with 104 people left 15 years later, in 1805. By 1838 the 17 people remaining abandoned their ancestral home, walking 80-miles to Jemez Pueblo. Jemez is the only other Towa speaking pueblo (and the only one remaining).

NSF is perpetually aiming to broaden its pool of evaluators across geographical regions and institutional types. If you must decline an invitation to join the review process, consider nominating like-minded colleagues or former students who can contribute similar expertise. (5)

When you submit a proposal, include suggested reviewers. These are visible only to NSF staff and will be kept confidential. For a program officer who is learning quickly about a new scientific community, these suggestions are hugely valuable entry points into the realm of possibilities. (7)

If your proposal is recommended for an award, the turnaround time for documentation might be rapid. Cuing up an IRB protocol in advance could be worthwhile. Relatedly, if any principal investigators have current awards, submit your annual reports on time because overdue reports are hurdles. (8)

For humans, this means that that a sperm is not “man” and an egg is not “woman.” But that is a whole other thread, or better yet a book… press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...
