NSERC

I learn that Ross Kang, who was also at the Birmingham interviews, has got the NSERC post-doc fellowship that I am waiting to hear about. This disturbs me.

There will probably be 200-300 of them given out, but then thinking that this is across all sciences, and that Kang is also a graph theorist, I think it unlikely that I will get one too.

Why haven't I heard about it? Do they send the letters to the successful applicants before the unsuccessful applicants, or in alphabetical order, or is mail just slow getting to Kamloops?

Grrrrrr!
