I just received word that my proposal for the NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Research Fellowship was declined. However, there was a silver lining: most of those who were declined received word earlier than February 12th, and so my application was most likely in the running until the very end. Given that 151 applications were received this year and only about 30 are awarded, this was a very competitive process. So, it was a good experience, and we must not have been very far off.
I'd like to give special thanks to my recommenders (Mark Chaplain, Natalia Komarova, and John Lowengrub), as well as Vittorio Cristini and Robert Gatenby for the generous time and help that they provided in the application process! -- Paul
