Fingers crossed Mark Davis and Ron Davis get funding

 

What does it mean that such a meeting is held? Is this how grant applications are normally reviewed, or is it special meeting justified by particular circumstances?

Funny how our 'wild fantasies' change with illness....I share your wild fantasy
