Didn't get an award, which is ok, but it took so much energy to apply. Disabled scholars get significantly less grants, and I bet it is largely due to the fact that we are physically unable to apply to as many as our nondisabled colleagues #AcademicChatter
Comparing number of awards recieved vs those one applies for may be an interesting metric for #DisabledinSTEM as I know I apply for far fewer than most people. @AcademicChatter@AbleismAcademia
