While we all face grant rejections, I have noticed that there are two categories of academics in the UK. The ones who know a next grant is coming and those who really don't and are under constant financial strain for their research. I am in the second category #AcademicChatter

I here often "will find the money" " we will recycle". I have received only one direct grant from @UKRI_News and it wasn't a science one. I think we do cool science in my group but money would unlock so much. Does it mean I am a less talented scientist/ PI. #MatthewEffect
