Was there some sort of a extranet(?) link sent to NSERC applicants last week or something? I'm on the west coast, haven't heard anything yet (it's 8am) but nothing has changed when I log into the portal. T_T
Oh no..... Isn't there also supposed to be a walk out on May 1 for all post grads/ post doc researchers for wage increase? Much commotion this time around. It's been a running theme on these forums where every year for the last three years, people say "it's taking longer for results this year than last year..."
Guess the strike is gonna mean we continue the new normal 😕
Can we populate this thread (or a new thread, idk) with some positive energy-like sharing what kinds of work everyone else is doing? I want to know what my fellow grad students are doing in different disciplines. At least, we'll have gained some knowledge at the end of all this waiting, if nothing else.
Yay, someone opened a thread for this round! I also creeped on last year's thread and was curious as to why this year seemed so quiet..
I also assume, like last year, we will know around 26-30th. So, a few more weeks
Good luck to everyone, and hope the waiting period is productive to all!
