European Research Council (ERC) Coordinator of Panel LS1 (Molecules of Life: #StructBiol,#MolBiol,#Biochem,#ChemBiol&Mol #Biophysics). Opinions my own!
@inoagrafioti.bsky.social@inoagrafioti.bsky.socialNext another @erc.europa.eu grantee, Pontus Skoglund “Ancient Genome Evolution: our best friends, our worst enemies and us” @pontus-skoglund.bsky.social
@inoagrafioti.bsky.socialAmazing talk from @erc.europa.eu grantee Mehmet Somel!
@inoagrafioti.bsky.socialAfter two days of giving talks about how to apply for an @erc.europa.eu grant and loads of passionate discussions with potential applicants, full of energy I am looking forward to attending this symposium! Mostly ERC grantees, the speakers are amazing! @embl.org
@inoagrafioti.bsky.socialWhat is going on this week? Super-emotional! In my "neutrino era" I was blessed with meeting this humble and amazing man twice, once even sitting next to him at dinner. My old bosses the late Ion Siotis @km3net.bsky.social and Stavros Katsanevas @cnrs-in2p3.bsky.social would be sooooo happy today. 🥲
@inoagrafioti.bsky.socialI have been dreaming of this since I became the LS1 panel coordinator: an LS1 @ERC_Research grantee to win a Nobel prize! And it turns out it is someone from the first Call I was ever in charge of (ADG2015). Let this be the first of many more! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
@inoagrafioti.bsky.socialWhich made me think that there were mean proposal reviewers for some time now. It also made think a little of the Bs at step 2 of the ERC evaluation, where the panels want to send the message that the PI needs to modify the proposal quite a bit before resubmitting.
@inoagrafioti.bsky.socialFurther down in the “Metaphysical animals” book of @inparenthesis.bsky.social I see a reviewer’s evaluation «Mrs Geach’s dissertation seems to me hardly to reach fellowship standard by which I mean that it will not be quite good enough for a fellowship even if there were no other candidates”1/2
@inoagrafioti.bsky.socialNo less than 100 of the projects analysed in this report were funded by the LS1 panels :)
@inoagrafioti.bsky.socialBest of luck to all ERC consolidator LS applicants next week! 🍀 (especially the LS1 ones 😉) Remember that you are already pretty amazing to make it to the interview! (And yes i am pretty aware that I am thinking of the applicants on a saturday afternoon) #lovemyjobtoomuch
@inoagrafioti.bsky.socialWooooooow!!!! I am deep in Oxford history thanks to this extremely well written book! Have you read the book too?
@inoagrafioti.bsky.socialNevertheless I cannot help but think of the other (at least 12!) PIs the panel ALSO wanted to fund! It is soooooooo painful to see all these brilliant ideas not get funded because the budget is not enough. :( :( :(
@inoagrafioti.bsky.socialCongratulations to the 9 extraordinary new LS1 #ERCStG! @jpkbravo.bsky.social , WILSON Matthew, @florianschueder.bsky.social , @hanasedlackova.bsky.social, OBERBECKMANN Elisa,SENTE Andrija, @florianwollweber.bsky.social, @alexshauser.bsky.social, @elias-adriaenssens.bsky.social!
@weizmann.ac.ilReposted by @inoagrafioti.bsky.socialWe, the Weizmann Institute of Science community, deeply mourn the passing of Prof. Ada Yonath - Nobel Laureate and a Model of Scientific Perseverance. May her memory be a blessing.
