The tech-ctte is supposed to judge on technical grounds and not consider merit or power. The soc-ctte will for sure not exclude merit completely from their considerations, and - by the nature of their task - are probable to consider power, too. And maybe that's not even a bad thing. I think this shows that the separation is more important here. Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ.
