" Is there a canned consensus paragraph that one can add with references to grants "
How about: “In general we look for a new law by the following process. First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is – if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it.” -Richard Feynman The Character of Physical Law (1965) Chapter 7, “Seeking New Laws”, p.150 (Modern Library edition, 1994) ISBN 0-679-60127-9 > On Apr 1, 2023, at 08:06, Subramanian, Ramaswamy <subra...@purdue.edu> wrote: > > > Dear All, > > I am unsure if all other groups will get it - but I am sure this group will > understand the frustration. > > My NIH grant did not get funded.
