Talk Academia

Hi, I would suggest you to apply straightaway. I had a case with one of my advisor who tried many times but no StG. He was almost giving up - but got encouraged by an ERC-StG recipient and decided to continue try. And he got consolidator right away. The slightly different thing was at that time he j...

PE10, initial EVALUATION and a B here. I found the reports quite useful and I agree with a lot of them though. So good materials for improvements.

Just found this link from the MSCA: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tjjDjkqa0wZtvcDMrnD1D4qoI5BO3smETzq1MRlf4yk/edit?pli=1&gid=1268576352#gid=1268576352 It does seem that the EVALUATION status almost always means a lower score. I think a single case would probably not void the overall conclu...

My hypothesis is that those of us who gather here are stressed anyway. The forum may add pressure, of course, but may also to a certain degree relseases our stress? Could the SH people comment on this? I do not dare to challenge the ERC-StG-SH applicants :lol: :lol: Updates: guys, there is now also ...

I think this is a confirmed case. Many data points from MSCA at least. PS: I love seeing the live editing of the Gdoc. We are academics who pasted the ERC initial stage. I guessed there must be a lot of us so strict with documents and want to make them look perfect :D :D :D So the google doc seems t...

It's hilarious to see so many doctors trying to get the sum of the two columns but being afraid to delete anything by mistake since Gdoc does not surpport it natively. :lol: :lol: :lol: For new comers, here is the table for our data collection thanks to kittykot: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Due to the increased budget, I think this year we probably will have some 480 people funded? This would be around 45% success rate. While we still cannot derive what E and R means, the almost equal distribution of the intial status would indicate that these two status do mean something, especially c...

Comment: only the StG folks are loafters since a lot of us do not have a permanent job yet.

Now we have the game which can reduce our anxiety, otherwise it is quite unbearable. In years, we probably suffered enough and we will stop caring about this kind of shit

Just added that column in the table. This is very important. Also two more columns: funded from initial "EVALUATION" and "RANKING", respectively. We have hope to nail it down with 30+ people. Perhaps it would be meaningful to know if anyone saw their status change from evaluation to ranking? Don't t...

I know lots of people in SH are great in statistics. But can the PE mathematicians do some fancy calculations on this please? We need to see real time update on the likelihood of different hypotheses. Stop your damn day to day academic work now. Sorry, I'm very bad in statistics. Next one please. We...
