      sucks! I watched it on cable and didn't hear about how widespread the streaming glitch was until this morning. I hope you were able to see it after all.

    applications for competitive funding are miserable! can i just write "give me monies pls" for 500 words?

      Yes, this is the only thing about scholarships/fellowships/grants that I dislike - oh and if you do not get the money after all the work on the application, that is disheartening too...

      No, seriously - double-space. Whenever I see a # for page count, I automatically assume that's double-spacing, figures, references, everything.

      i had no idea that double-spacing wasn't "default," unless explicitly noted in the prompt or formatting guides. shows how much i know..!

      You speak truth. The TAs are getting biweekly emails letting us know the number of students who have filled in the survey...

      Not to distract you from your piles of reading, but I was curious if this was relevant to anything that you are curious about. This YouTube video reflects on the University of Montana Zoological Museum:
