Fellowship Application Done

Today is the electronic submission deadline for AHA Pre-doctoral fellowship applications, at least in the Southeast Affiliate. I submitted electronically last week to beat the rush, and mailed in the paper copy the day before yesterday.

That fellowship took over 30 hours of my time, plus some of my advisor’s time, and that of people writing reference reports for me. If I’m funded, it will provide $18,000 stipend support per year for two years. 

If you’re going to apply for an AHA pre-doctoral fellowship, let me advise you to start very early. There is ton of paperwork to deal with, even more if you are dealing with animals or human subjects.  My application ended up at 50 pages long.  However, if you have living subjects, it might be closer to 60, not to mention the legwork involved for those extra pages.

When it’s all said and done…

When it’s all said and done,
It’s real and it’s been fun,
But was it all real fun?

–Greenday

It was fun, for the most part. Most labs spend a lot of time together. Not many of them cohabitate for the better part of a semester. It could have been awful, but it was mostly rockin’. Thanks guys, and so long St.Louis. I finally saw the arch today, from afar.

I should probably write a longer post about this later. Off to bed.

Here are the articles that I added to my Cite-U-Like Queue this week. They generally pertain to myocardial ischemia and infarction, but there are some others mixed in as well.

So much food

I dished out some leftover thai peanut tofu for myself. Then I thought, wow, that’s a lot of leftovers.

I am so, SO full. Ow.

At least it was tasty. Today was exhausting, but very academically interesting. There are days when I just grind at boring details, days when I’ve had to deal with annoying students as a TA, and days when I just can’t concentrate for people bugging me all of the time.

And then, there are days where I find out just how much really cool stuff is going on in the field, and in scientific research in general. Heavy though my eyelids may be, today was one of those days. I feel like I’m getting close to some kind of critical mass.

hah. Classes will probably set me back two semesters on getting there. But at least I know it’s out there.

Off to Bedfordshire.

ADDENDUM: I did not sleep well on a full stomach… uuughhh.
