It's Pop-O-Matic

Wow. Well, just yesterday I wrote about not getting a job, but still having hope for NIH funding. Today, however, the score for my grant came in, and it is clear that my hopes for funding are quite deceased for this granting period. I will not gain funding from NIH before the money in the lab here expires (since it takes so long to get reviewed and all). I will re-apply in the fall for the job at The University, and for the NIH grant. I will also keep applying for other grants and professorships. I think, though, that I'm starting to smell a second post-doc, unless my Principle Investigator (read: my boss) gets her grant funded. Then all will be well for a few years, giving me time to work in a protected environment, publish papers, and apply for jobs. Publishing.. yeah..
