As I would usually say on Twitter when GRFP results are announced: You're not a failure if you didn't get it! *MANY* (if not most) incredible researchers did not get the GRFP!! If you received one, you totally deserve it and CONGRATS!!!! If you didn't, welcome to the club of many rejections 😎
Dr. David Miller 🏳️🌈@davidimiller.bsky.social · last yr.🚨 Not a drill: NSF GRFP results are NOW OUT!!!!! But...good news and bad news. 👍 I'm *thrilled* for the grad students for whom getting this award will be life-changing, esp now. 👎 # of fellowships went down by 51% (1000 this year vs. 2036 last year) See here: www.research.gov/grfp/Awardee...
