Nothing like submitting your proposal the day the Federal Government shuts down!

NSF proposal turned in to my Sponsored Projects Office for check, routing and (ultimately, hopefully) timely submission to NSF. Submitting proposals is hard under the best of circumstances... while also trying to 'Dean' it's God-awful. Reviewers, be kind, I tried my best to make it easy to read ;)

I know that rankings don’t really mean much… but, I’m going to take a minute just to reflect on just all the good good stuff that had to happen over the last 20 years to get @ucmerced.bsky.social to this news… we’re ranked in the top 25 Schools in the country!

As a general principle, self-serving, pompous and self-righteous preaching isn’t likely to win folks to your side.

I’m reminded of an old bit by Bill Hicks, albeit in a US context, “we, your leaders, have misspent your money and now you, the people, have to start paying this back”… it’s never the leaders that seem to have to pay the bill 🤔

Stephanie Urbin (P&G) and Brooke Small (CPChem) all shared their resumes and @bagphos.bsky.social offered to zoom into the meeting to discuss! There are good people out there and our ChemSky community is still one of the things I am most thankful for in the hellscape that is social media! Thanks all

Things are hard right now - very hard. So I want to throw some positivity out there. This morning (great planning I know) I decided that I wanted to talk about resumes/CVs at group meeting this afternoon, but realized I needed examples from industry. In short order @bagphos.bsky.social (Pfizer),
