Submitted my grant today for the December 8th deadline. Not Dec 10 - I don't have cs anymore since my ss was dissolved. Dec 8 would have been November 19th which would have been November 5th since I had study section on November 12th to 13th which is actually on January 12th to 13th. Any questions?

we are such nerds 🤓😍

feeling very inspired serving on study section right now
thank you to the pos/sros/etc that are working the long hours

for my part, on a very basic level, anyone that thinks their man-made system is more interesting/complex/smarter/life-like than what a billion years of evolution has produced, understands very very little about the natural world

Until it can optimize a wblot I'm not impressed.

I often generate ideas through a conversation, and the bot is great at that. I like to use it as a little buddy to help me process externally and not tie up my trainees' time. Not to the exclusion of thinking aloud with trainees, but as an extra. It doesn't feel like hell. The bot is so encouraging!
