Not the score I was hoping for, but grateful to have had my grant discussed and looking forward to improving for the next submission based on reviews. Thank you to all the NIH staff and the external reviewers for their time and expertise to make amazing science happen, even in chaotic times.
Got through the whole day yesterday without checking ERA commons because the science @isdp.org was just that good and captivating!
And now the thought is in my head so I’m checking again as we speak …

Ok here’s another spooky phenomenon: fighting students to not use AI while simultaneously fighting them to PLEASE use a reference manager 🙃
Happy Spooky Season there's nothing scarier than getting one of those 'an account has been created for you' emails from a scientific journal signaling that someone is about to ask you to review a manuscript . . .
What's your spooky academic fear?
