NIH has introduced a new format for Biosketch that we will need to attach to grant applications after May 25th, 2021.
Instead of just copy and paste old one, I am taking my time to look back my projects from the past, ongoing, and planned.
Looking back is fun. There were projects that led us to interesting new direction. There were projects with modest success. Also there were ones that did not pan out. For each project, there were decisions. For each decision, there were reasons. It is easy to forget all these reasonings, but they were there.
In general, I want to do only a few, select, the most interesting projects at a time. And that is how I am doing research. I am fortunate to be able to work in this way. Here I acknowledge collaborators who have enabled us to work in this way. Many thanks.
Apparently new format wants us to emphasize resource aspect (for example, what we generated, what we have and available, and so on). It is easy for us to take something for granted and overlook. Time to make a list.
