Makes winning so much sweeter: no need to concede bullshit "acknowledgements" to absent profs and grant agencies and supervisors who sit the entire project out, only to inject themselves into the final credits and collect the post-victory interviews. Standard academic practice.
Great job, students!
- cma 9y agoWhy wouldn't a grant agency get acknowledgements if they provided funding? If you look at the winning pod, it is covered with logos of sponsors as acknowledgement.
- jldugger 9y agoIt's one thing to have a line in a paper saying 'this research was funded in part by the NSF' and another thing entirely to have people talking to the media about said work.
