Starting the first leg to #euroglia before the sun rises! Looking forward to an amazing program. Hit me up on Sunday at poster T05-37-B to find out about our collaboration with @nickomatics and @LabGlial using family genetics to gain insights into #MS pathology. #glia2023 #newPI

This is appalling. Stream 1 was/is the only one where discovery or "novel strategies" were eligible.

Am I the only one who feels disturbed looking at these stats?

307 teams of #ECRs spent countless hours putting in applications with 9 awarded (2.9% success rate).
