reminds me of this absurd looking column I ran in grad school...

We use HINA in our Photo-Decarboxylase catalysis system we described last year - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Right. Figured if they are applying this to ESI awards now as a matter of routine, that probably signals a sea change of some sort.

Chatting with slightly more advanced peers, seems to be a first for the MIRA, despite CRs being the norm recently. I wonder if it had been spared from that generally given the ineligibility for any other grants from GM, but had to do it now given circumstances

I don't know if this is normal, but my ESI MIRA from NIGMS received a 10% budget cut in year 2. As did all of FY 26 renewals as far as I can tell. Again, not sure if this is just SOP under a CR, or something new. So also less $$ going out. reporter.nih.gov/search/5Fd8B...

I hope this language choice was referring to the possible likelihood of racemization of the enriched products, and not the value in making them? Either way, this is S-tier trolling.

ah well turns out 1 week is just the turnaround time right now. 🤷‍♂️

tremendous news - congrats Grace!

I was told that the citric acid cycle is "memorize the citric acid cycle, forget the citric acid cycle, repeat"
