With the expected number of awarded applications being about the same as in the previous call, this makes the success rate drop from ~17% to below 10%. If one were serious about protecting science in Europe in view of things happening elsewhere, then put also money where your mouth is.

Here’s a Christmas present for y’all: a new physics post! I’ve done these things on “the other side”—let’s see how many people are interested on 🦋!

I’ll be talking about a famous principle in classical mechanics: that of “least action.” And I’ll tell you why it’s a misnomer!

Buckle up!
