Solitude is not getting much traffic at all. I have no bids and no watchers with only 2 days left. I can say that the last 3 weeks on Ebay have been my worse....Well, no one said it was going to be easy and I guess that is where the word "starving artist" comes from. I'll keep my day job....On that note, my study section met today regarding my R15...I am really hoping to break the 200 barrier for a score. On another note, I am applying for a Jefferson Science Fellowship, which would give me the opportunity to work in Washington D.C. for a year and develop foreign policy to tackle Alzheimer's disease. It is a long shot that I would win such an award, but as they say you can't win the lottery without buying a ticket. I can't believe that for one of my letters of rec., the president of my university is going to write a letter in my support. That should carry some weight!
My guess is solitude will not even get another page view.....I will be posting my next painting on Sunday so till then.

A follow up on my NIH grant. It went unscored! I could not believe it, as it was basically a revision of a previous grant and I addressed all issues and included new pilot data. I have reached my end with NIH. My last 7 proposals have either been unscored or in the 50 percentile. It is completely frustrating. I plant on focusing on non-profits as I have had much better luck recently getting funding from those kinds of agencies.
ReplyDeleteI guess I should mention that I have funding for my lab until next March, whereby, nothing! Next summer will be the first summer in 10 years that I will have to teach summer school because I do not have any research grants. Wow, could my career be over as a bench scientist? Who knows?
