just heard that someone in my department recently received a denial. my status is still pending...

Check out Binghamton University, specifically Professors Koji Lum and Andy Merriwether.

I'm heading into the field toward the latter half of next year; I'm excited, except for the fact that I won't see my husband for six months (a relatively short field term, I know). Any advice for dealing with that absence? How did fieldwork impact your relationships, with spouses or otherwise?

has anyone who applied in august received a negative decision?

I applied for bio anth in August; Fastlane says that external review began on 11/5, and the last status update ('pending') is on 11/19. Not sure how long it usually takes to be informed after the external review. I wonder if they may wait until the fiscal cliff shenanigans are resolved; we might see some cuts in science funding
