I got a similar message. My study section is being rescheduled for 2 partial days in January. Only 1/3 of grants will be discussed.
Just got an email from my SRO for the study section that was missed in October. Good news is that they are trying to reschedule ASAP (Dec/Jan). The bad news is that CSR is mandating that only the the top third (not half) of applications will get discussed for the next 2 rounds.

Are there any socials or parties at SfN this year that would be particularly suitable for meeting 2p nerds and sharing war stories in the spirit of these Xerox technicians from the 1980s?
Wonderful read about the work ethos among 1980s Xerox service technicians and the importance of practical wisdom and storytelling. That’s what drew me to the community of multiphoton microscope tinkerers, and it explains why I find meaning in the unglamorous process of troubleshooting.
