@mattdcarling Hi Matt, we are a team looking to submit a proposal to NSF Organismal Response to Climate Change (ORCC). We've requested comment on alignment from the program contacts. We haven't received feedback and are hesitant to submit without NSF feedback on alignment. Any advice? John

If you have questions about any solicitations in BIO, I can help (or point you to the person that can). This might include questions about CAREER, BIO-BRC, ORCC, IntBio, BoCP, BIO-LEAPS, RAMP, MCA, OPUS, etc. I can also decipher NSF acronyms!

Just a reminder to all @MammalMeetings attendees, I'll be available to answer any NSF questions you may have. Open office hours are Saturday from 11am - 1pm and Sunday from 10am-noon. Both are in the Goldwater room. What kind of questions can you ask? Glad you asked.

@AarianMarshall Interesting article. Is the implication that the hardware capabilities are included in the price but needs to be unlocked through subscription? If a vehicle has the inherent capabilities, I would hate to pay extra to unlock these, i.e. seats with the capacity to heat but won’t

Having a break and nice dinner after almost a week long #metabolomics course and symposium with @MetExplore @soreearskid @Naomi_UoG @JustineBertra10 @john_jbecker Molati and Jasper ....@Jos_Hageman @fideletu

@metaboknight @MetExplore @UPTuks @ACGTFoundation @soreearskid @fideletu @Naomi_UoG @JustineBertra10 It would not have been possible without all your efforts the last few years @metaboknight @soreearskid @fideletu @Naomi_UoG @MetExplore

@MetExplore @john_jbecker @UPTuks @ACGTFoundation @soreearskid @fideletu @Naomi_UoG @JustineBertra10 Starting 4 years ago with 30 attendees, now almost 130 in this symposium! and 85 in the workshop!

@metaboknight @MetExplore @soreearskid @Naomi_UoG @Jos_Hageman @fideletu Having dinner with this great bunch after a week of metabolomics. Can't thank you enough! Enjoy the safari all! @ntatenonyane
