Our lab's effort is a reflection of Mother Teresa’s quote: “We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.”

Proposal Central is just another way of administrators pushing workload onto scientists having to fill out multiple useless pages, which could all be happily done once a funding decision has been reached – but not before that.

I participated in a faculty panel a few weeks ago in which senior (ahem) faculty gave advice on careers in academia by pretending luck had very little to do with our success. One piece of advice riled me up, in which it was argued that a reason for their success was their ability to say no. 1/
