"I had a teacher that didn't like me and I didn't like him. At the end of the year he decided to fail me. The ironic thing is that the topic was chemistry. I have the distinction of being the only chemistry laureate who failed the topic in high school!"

Very true

[Prof Lennart Nacke, PhD @acagamic]

5 immutable truths about grant proposals

1. Jargon doesn’t win grants. Clarity does.
2. Deadlines don’t kill proposals. Vagueness does.
3. Reviewers aren’t grading you. They’re investing in you.
4. A winning proposal is not performance. It’s persuasion.
5. If your aims don’t match your methods, you’ve already lost.

Reviewers fund feasibility, not fantasies.

First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that.

This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now.

ChatGPT will die.

Gemini will die.

Claude will die.

Grok will die.

But your research skills won't.

Every PhD student faces the same dilemma:

Being "nice" is hurting your leadership -

Nice leaders want to be liked.

Kind leaders build trust

Choose the harder path.

Be kind.
