@kricketchirps @ndorms You don’t need luck when you have all the skills! Go get it!

[Mike Pollastri @MikePollastri]

@StevenLopez_neu @RouxInstitute It would be a research institute like Roux, where our research team is expected to be externally funded. Much like a medical school research enterprise.

@TheAuthorGuy And I don’t suppose he pays any taxes. Jerk.

@EthonRaptor @VT_Chemist @scott_mintzer @KarenMSmith_bio @DGlaucomflecken Perhaps this is true in those proposals that total costs are limited (like NSF). I’ve been on multiple NIH panels and this was not discussed at all - in fact I recall be asked NOT to discuss this as a matter of evaluating the project budget.

[Mike Pollastri @MikePollastri]

@DGlaucomflecken Yes. Direct cost + Indirect costs = total costs. Trick is that some funding agencies typically put limits on total costs (like NSF) which squeezes the direct costs available to spend.

[Mike Pollastri @MikePollastri]

@bipolaracademi1 @DGlaucomflecken Totally agree. Same for foundations etc etc.

@FrankCa08841149 @DGlaucomflecken Not following. What do you mean?

[Mike Pollastri @MikePollastri]

@DGlaucomflecken @FrankCa08841149 Omg yes.

@DGlaucomflecken @jmcin9 Most institutions “hard fund” a small portion of res fac salaries (~2-5%) for this reason.

@chrismallett @RouxInstitute @usamaf So pleased to be able to expand the reach of the State of AI in Maine report. A huge shout out to our @RouxInstitute colleagues, a phenomenal group of collaborating partners, and Anna Fiorentino, Tyler Lynch, Olivia Saucier, and Chandler Smith, who brought the report to life!

@beth_halford I heard a Muzak version of “Friday I’m in Love” at the supermarket a while back and a piece of me died inside.

[Mike Pollastri @MikePollastri]

Received my packages from @HomeDepot - here is a pic of where they were left by @UPS ….a pic of the sign right on that door asking that packages be left on the porch, and a pic of my boxes that are now wet because they weren’t left on the porch as requested. Come on!

@BagPhos Love me some “energetic materials”
