This week our lab meeting was visited by distinguished scholar Fuzzy Puppet Orangebottom, who helped the undergraduate research assistants (RAs) practice giving 'elevator talk' summaries of their research projects.
Some of us in the lab have experienced multiple rejections lately. Grants not funded, jobs not offered, fellowships not awarded, papers and conference submissions getting the big thumbs down. So we took some time last week to celebrate our rejections . . .
