Smell and taste scientist, EIC of Chemical Senses, repatriated Virginian, possessor of countless useless facts. Opinions belong to my friend who lives in another state…you’ll probably never meet them even though they are definitely real.
All clear, with police now saying there is no evidence of an attacker. They are now investigating a potential false report. Hopefully this was an innocent mistake, but scary nonetheless.

A subsequent alert indicates a self-inflicted gunshot wound to an unknown individual and a weapon secured by police. But the investigation is ongoing.

Is a trade remotely possible with the dead cap numbers?

In my many years on study section, I can’t recall a perceived lack of innovation being scored driving. A highly innovative grant, whether conceptually or technically, definitely would get a boost as that generally aligned with being able to approach a question that could not be before.

I was there today. I think one challenge is that most have not read the Compact or really know what its implications are. It is much easier to get folks to rally around someone they like and respect than to do for for a group of concepts, as significant as they are for the University.

If you are reducing figures such that they can only be read when you zoom in on screen, that is fundamentally what you are doing. Figures should be fully legible without magnification.

I’m sorry, but not only is that unfair to other PIs if you try to circumvent page limits like that, but a clear, well-thought out data figure (or model figure) is going to do a lot more to support rationale/feasibilty of your study than a couple extra sentences might.

This descendent of Greek immigrants who decided to take on a German surname very much appreciated this thread.

I think colleges and universities are now seeing that their strategy of appeasement and collective silence is not working. www.aacu.org/newsroom/aac...

I was disappointed you didn’t say The Rocky Horror Picture Show (given the 50th anniversary).
