I've decided my Wondrous Women of the Week Award should go to @laurakoohoo & @SusannaNykyri who were brave enough to share something that didn't work at #nwb20. Sharing failures is the biggest kindness you can offer your community, saving others so much time. @FailurePhoenix

[Paul Ashwin @paulashwin]

Having a grant rejected is far more common than having it accepted but grant success is discussed much more than failure. Here's an opportunity to share experiences of rejection.

It is crucial to continue our open & honest conversation about research grant rejection in academia. We have shared our experiences on https://t.co/LvZHg23iP9 & now we are asking you to do the same. If you are willing to blog your experiences to support others please contact us✍️

FLASHBACK: @GemmaDerrick and her honest account of moving on from grant rejection. "The cost of lost academic dreams" https://t.co/5hR7wI7j19

Yes please! We would love to share it on our website if you do!

Tweeps, several people suggested I should record this as a Youtube video! While I'm happy to share all my failures online, singing feels extra scary. Help me decide (retweets welcome 😊) #AcademicTwitter #CVofFailure

How did you feel when you got your latest grant rejection?
Were you frustrated? Did you shrug it off? Was it the last straw?

The @FailurePhoenix team wants to help normalize failure. We invite everyone to write blog post, simply contact us if interested.

[Alessandra Zimmermann, PhD @alesszimm]

Everyone in academia has experienced #failure, and that's doesn't make you any less of a researcher (studies show it might actually make you better!!)

If you want to share your story on our #FailureProject blog, contact the @FailurePhoenix team and help normalize failure!

New blog from @GemmaDerrick of the @FailurePhoenix team. An excellent reflection of how forcing people out through hostile peer review culture is #researchwaste.
