Let’s stop treating "leaving academia" as negative. Scientists train for academia, industry, or what suits them. Industry isn’t an alternative; it’s a choice. In fields like engineering, most PhDs go to industry, and no one calls it "leaving academia." We should train scientists for diverse paths.

A proposal was submitted to a research council in the UK in September 2023. The applicants are yet to receive a decision in Dec 2024.
The research moved on in 15 months, and so did the researchers.
It's not a great place for the funder or the applicants.

In Je-S & Grant on Web days, one could see the list of proposals going to the panel before even the panel was convened.
Now with TFS, the latest panel information available is from July 2024. From transparency & governance POV this should be addressed sooner than later.
