It's been 6 months and I have still not even had a first decision on a manuscript I submitted...is this just stock standard now or is it ok to follow up? I checked in 2.5 months ago and they said reviews were due in soon...but...that was months ago

This is a massive issue. We don't have a per reviewer word count to respond, it's just a set amount. Makes a huge difference to have 5-6!!

And responding to all of them in 5000 characters or less 😅💀

Senior researchers, what are you doing tomorrow?

Helping DECRA applicants navigate their referee reports, that's what you're doing tomorrow.

Book in some quality time with them now. Normally reports drop around ~11am AEST.

Grateful for my team of mentors and colleagues. This process has clarified so much of my research vision and I would not be where I am without their support!

My joy today came in the form of a formal email from my research office confirming my ARC DECRA grant has been submitted🎉🎉🎉

As always, exceedingly low chance of success but I have to say I'm extremely proud of this grant. I put my heart, soul, sweat and tears into it. It is the best it can be.

I can safely say writing this #DECRA26 grant has taken more time and energy that every other grant combined... And for such a low success rate. I'm grateful to have an ongoing role so my career doesn't rest in the success, but man I'm feeling for everyone whose future is in this lottery system

Grateful to have a wonderful work team with a lot of trust.

Fueling up for the final day of driving to Geelong for #smaanz

Thanks for the kind words...and yes, it was surprising even to me how much people were relying on policies outside of sport to support them as they just didn't think the sport specific ones did...🤯
marynwoessner.bsky.social
Your presentation today was just outstanding. Still reflecting on it. Such a cool approach 😊😊
marynwoessner.bsky.social
It's our coolest day of the week...enjoy it. Time for me to get going and drive over from Melbourne 😊

Always worth remembering this, it’s ok to feel exactly how you feel and ignore any sentence that starts with
‘At least….’

Just to drive home the point: Research into misinformation strongly suggests that you do not repeat lies, even to debunk them. Don't quote tweet or screenshot lies. Paraphrase or say someone said something false or objectionable, but repeating lies helps to spread them.

I'm finalising my slides for my first presentation at #SMAANZ - Sports Management Australia and New Zealand next week. So excited to present this research on behalf of just a brilliant team of collaborators.
