Of course ideally I'd still like to believe that creative grants can still be made simple and easy to understand if sufficiently well-written...Baymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436172198266062229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14815894.post-52160650592273882902007-08-23T09:54:00.000-04:002007-08-23T09:54:00.000-04:00Cool paper.

Being able to detect modifications in a single mollecule, in an allele-specific ways is going to open up all kinds of cool high-throughput screens. However the lysine 36 trimethylation non coding transcripts is a cool finding.<BR/><BR/>Regarding your grant, it's well known people like to pick the grants that are easy to understand so that they feel they "get it". You want to make them feel like they are smart. Creativity and risk taking unfortunately are more often than not punished. I find myself in the same situation right now, for my comps, i want to write an ambitious grant about a really poorly understood phenomena. mostly because i want to learn about it, and since it's not a real grant why not think big? But I'm afraid it's going to backfire...Anonymous Cowardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315733940344340689noreply@blogger.com
