Kind of hard but trying to see it as encouraging. My first NIH proposal was discussed 🥳 I plan to celebrate submitting and tolerating a long wait. Hopeful that summary statements are helpful for resubmission! #NormalizeRejection
Have been dealing with a lot of academic rejection lately so I channeled my inner @mirya.bsky.social and bought this purple sweater to make myself feel better....the bright purple color will definitely improve my mood on dreary days this winter! 💜💜 #NormalizeRejection #AcWri
in light of recent events, I will not be (re)submitting any manuscripts unless it's a bones day #normalizerejection #nobones #AcademicTwitter #phdchat
#Rejection is always disappointing.... BUT at least our ms was under review @ScienceMagazine & not desk rejected immediately🙂. Received 3 reviews /w reasonable/constr criticism in short time. Even better that the rev had some words of praise #normalizerejection #AcademicChatter
#Deskreject. Our submission lacked some 'sort of significant conceptual advance' despite having analytical and results advance and societal relevance. Recharge for another submission. #normalizerejection @AcademicChatter https://t.co/PLJi4MzAq0
