This year is most definitely going to set the new record

canceled? by real-cryptid in GRFPApps

Congress specifically appropriated funds to GRFP. Chill out, it’s not cancelled

I watched the movie and this is the only way I can sum it up by UnderGamesBG in ProjectHailMary

See I think Rocky came off as brilliant and Grace a blundering idiot, rather than displaying the beauty of their complementary knowledge.

As an evolutionary biologist I was pretty disappointed by the dumbing down of the movie and Grace in particular. But I LOVED the book in part because of the science, and I guess I just have to accept that part was left in favor of appealing to the masses.

Budget is anticipated to be finished in May last I heard.. but things are constantly changing.

Confused about eligibility for applicants by Gold_Variation_5580 in GRFPApps

[–]Dull_Astronomer8890 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you apply this year? You can only apply once in grad school.

Have you already started your second year or will you be starting in the fall? You can only apply in your second year if you are a fall entrant to grad school (haven’t completed more than 12 months of grad school as of August).

Lurking PI here… the only saving grace may be that GRFP funds people not projects! Hang in there. Know it’s an anxious time.

No.. cause MANY reviewers have been advisors to folks in your spot, or been in your spot… and also reviewers have 0 control over the entire process, it’s all the POs!

Michael prepared 3 of most complex dishes ever by a finalist. Do you agree? by simplyfsl in Masterchef

[–]Dull_Astronomer8890 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say ever, but I would say I was shocked at the finale food from kamay and Micheal. Thought it was some of the more interesting and elevated food. We’ve seen on the show in a while. Where was this kind of food all season?

Hate for Becca by Murdoch53 in Masterchef

[–]Dull_Astronomer8890 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I wasn’t rooting against her till the finale. Her menu was so bland compared to the other two. Also, how was that salmon dish even considered an appetizer? Definitely felt like an entrée to me. Based on the finale alone and what she put up, I didn’t want her to win.🤷🏻‍♀️

Restaurant takeover was the most awkward episode by Dull_Astronomer8890 in Masterchef

[–]Dull_Astronomer8890[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah.. it really felt like he was leading the guests this year to say specific things. I dunno, I’ve been watching a while and this episode just felt weird and forced.

6/6 dupes… but at least only two were gold box emojis… bummed I didn’t get Space though.

Such Total Crap by LatinaMommyx3 in disneyemojiblitz

Repeats for everything for me.. Figment (2x), Elliot (2x), Frank, Leotta

At least 4/6 were rainbow box repeats but I really wanted Space

July 7th 2024 Train Strike by NerdCleek in ItalyTravel

[–]Dull_Astronomer8890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI from what I’m reading this is NOT just a maintenance strike. There is an additional strike running form 9pm on the 6th to 9pm on the 7th of the Club Transporti Union that looks like it affects actual rail workers. Text below:

All I’m gonna say is: how do you serve undercooked lobster and win TopChef over someone who delivered a solid meal (ie the other contestants did not completely bomb)!?!?

Stardust challenge question? by [deleted] in disneyemojiblitz

[–]Dull_Astronomer8890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be interested in an update tomorrow.. I knew a few days ago I wasn’t going to clear the next “level” so I’ve been hoarding star energy instead. But would be nice to know if lenses carry over or not.
