It is quite interesting that this is a report of a 30 year old piece of pathology!
I don't think the diagnosis of CFS is realistic here. It seems the patient had evidence of multi-infarct (vascular) dementia over a period of 13...
Work expands to fill the time available. The main purpose of the editorial team is to introduce typos into your manuscript for you to hunt down....
I agree, I think the proposal is good enough to deserve advice on how the MRC would like to see it redrafted. When Karl sent me the material he...

I think the problem both with this clash of applications and the previous Wellcome episode is that they may both have involved major investment in...
In this context for this sort of application I would guess 2%.
The usual situation for biomedical projects is that they are sent out for review to independent experts. The panel will be known but their job is...
