Last day of a wonderful week visiting Prof Dan Mulvihill in Kent, writing a new grant. Now we only need to get it funded. 🤞

TOUGH LESSON: Today I learned how the Dutch Scientific Funding agency keeps their grant success rate at an acceptable level. After a number of submissions, without advanced warning, they close up shop for the rest of the year. A lot of work went into this proposal I cannot submit.

In collaboration with @lennartschada.bsky.social we tried, unsuccesfully, to express MtrCAB and CymA in Paracoccus denitrificans. This nice work by Gescher suggests why we might not have been successful.

What is the best way (and QUICKEST) to write a review report for a submission that reads like a data-dump with many statements that are neither supported by data overload nor by literature. Typically, these papers lack a research strategy and I wonder if the senior author actual read the submission.

HMMM. I found two papers with exactly the same data (exactly the same figures, not even replotted), the same authors, only 9 years apart. doi.org/10.1007/BF02... and doi.org/10.1007/s007.... We are all guilty of repeating some of our work, but this is stretching things a bit, maybe?
