I applied for money 3 or 4 times to do this research, but the grant applications were all rejected. Not sufficient impact or novelty. Fortunately I could do the research anyway. The paper was rejected at Nature Neuroscience for lack of novelty.

PhDs (especially in neuroscience) are explicitly designed to train you to run an academic lab. Not to get a job outside of it.

@cbokhove yes. I’m all for experienced people giving advice on how to write a grant, but I question the premise that the reason for applying should be bcs your worth is evaluated in terms of grant income. My advice: only apply for funding when you have a great idea you’re itching to test

I’m getting the strong impression from everyone around me that academic peer review is in a state of collapse — reviewers are increasingly difficult to find, program committees and editorial boards are collapsing, and yet there are more submissions than ever. Discuss.

I think that at first submission authors should only submit a pdf, and not fill in any forms at all. If the editor decides to send out the paper for review, the authors are asked to fill in all forms.
