Have had some very worrying info from insiders in the last couple of days suggesting that things are about to get a lot worse

What you're hearing lines up completely with my sources too Ian - although I heard they'd be announcing the restart in the Spring, which is subtly different! As someone with a grant currently under consideration I'm absolutely furious at my wasted time - not to mention that of the reviewers/panel

And this is how it ends - 30kg lapdog. We'll both sleep well tonight

Would the MRC no deadline approach be better? The EPSRC experience was that there were a lot fewer submission. Who says we're deadline driven 🤣

Thanks Mel! I really want that project with Leeds to happen too - probably the best project we've put together in a long time

The finished product!

She's a trooper - just really annoyed that she couldn't swim today

I'm not sure university management would feel the same way!! 🤣

Well hello Ginger! What a beautiful dog

You'd think!

Just had the exact same thing from Anaerobe - 20.10 on Friday and follow up at 5am this morning

Have a Pip and Toby!

Hope you had fun - we did dry out eventually 😆
