So excited to finally share this story. This was purely a Neurdyphagy Lab effort led by Dr. @FiryalR & everyone contributed to this paper, from volunteers, summer students, honours students, grad students, PDFs & even I did some bench work. 🧵1/10

@neuronJoy And honestly, I didn't know that nuance bc the pandemic prevented me from meeting my peers & discussing these things. So, pandemic ECR profs had another disadvantage

@DrJKhokhar That was also my experience as an observer. But you can win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket. So, I'll keep buying.

Thanks @notthatdrjones for correcting me. I still have some ECR status.... Not that it's helped me, but makes me feel a bit better. ECR status for Pandemic Profs is 84 months for @CIHR_IRSC

Just started the process of registering for my 9th straight rejection from CIHR. Extra depressing since I've never been discussed & no longer considered an ECR. Can we please change it so all ECR's get discussed, so we can get meaningful feedback early on? At least once?

This is fantastic news! There is an abundance of excellent HD research in Canada & not enough funds. This will help ensure that new promising projects get the initial funding they need to get started. Congratulations all around. @HuntingtonSC

@yucanuck08 Thanks! Reviews seemed good overall. Not sure they really screamed resubmit. But we'll see where we are in the Fall. We're about to start a pre-clinical trial next week. So, I'm hoping that's enough to convince reviewers that it's worthwhile.
