Mixed Blessing

I've just been asked to serve on a review panel.

+ I've made enough of a name for myself that I'm getting asked to do this sort of thing
+ I get to see the review side of the grants process before I need to win one of my own

- Lots of work

It'll be a good experience. In the sense that it'll be a huge time suck and will no doubt make me miserable. Maybe "learning experience" is a better term.

The reward for a good job = more annoying tasks.

Congrats on the good job part, anyways.

Wow! I just saw this. Which agency are you reviewing for? I'm at NSF right now, for the next few weeks anyway...

(I'm a good friend of [livejournal.com profile] ukelele's and I also went to college with [livejournal.com profile] rms10. I talked with you online once a while ago about women in science or some such, but I figure you might need a context reminder. :) )

oops

Hmm, you probably can't say what agency in a public post, can you, what with the necessary anonymity of reviewers ;). Well, you can reach me at emjonaitis at gmail.com if you like!
