There are 2 weeks left to apply for our Shenoy Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN) program! The goal of this fellowship is to spark & sustain interest in #neuroscience among undergrads who have not had access to research training opportunities: https://bit.ly/3RprAH0 #science
The person chosen for this position will manage the existing Physics cleanroom as we prepare for our new building. We will be bringing in new equipment, new people, and need an effective leader join our team. Anyone with questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Please share far and wide.
The Princeton Quantum Iniatiative is looking to hire a cleanroom director for our current Physics cleanroom and also to help design/manage a new cleanroom in a currently under-construction new building (eta 2029). bit.ly/4cjyJ71
I am neither a purist nor a completist, but if your Danny McBride journey does not include "Foot Fist Way", you're really missing out.
Also, he introduced the term "Myrtle Beach drunk", among many other classics, to the masses.
I think we're going to be approaching Challenge Grant review levels of distress soon in terms of finding qualified reviewers. Back then you had applicants reviewing other applicants' submissions with a second level of review by leaders in the field essentially breaking ties. It wasn't ideal.
You say you value reviewers and their contributions to NIH? I'm not sure you do.
You still get late submission if you review in a given round, but now everyone is being asked to review constantly. Where does it stop? And what's your incentive to do so outside of professional obligation?
I think about review today and we've got more applications being reviewed, fewer discussed, fewer funded, and therefore more resubmissions. So now you need even more reviewers...
As an SRO I had a love/hate relationship with continuous submission. I wanted it for my standing committee members but this meant more work for me as I had to do additional special emphasis panels to review other panels' member submissions. But I did know that the policy was the right thing to do.
Bob and Barbara's take, Coach?
Great story and really happy that the Princeton Quantum Initiative was (kind of) mentioned. Our new building will be joining the neighborhood in 2029!

The loss of grants management specialists, those with the budget and accounting knowledge to actually get awards out the door is just as damaging for our agencies. May not have Phds but for some ICs we’ve lost more of them then folks with PhDs.
