Earlier in January, Colin Munn and Andy forwarded me a message (independently) sent out from Lynda Rodwell about the SoMSE Teaching and Learning Awards. Ooo... I was tremendously excited by this and decided I was going to submit a proposal. It is my hope to see the PALS programme implemented within the marine biology degree programmes. So, after finally getting some expenditures from Carolyn, I put together a 1 page proposal. I asked Rikka for feedback and he provided some very constructive feedback for me. During a quick chat with him, he told me he thought that it was great that I applying for this award and that he had been at Plymouth for 5-6 years before he decided to apply for a similar award. That made me feel great in light of knowing how some of the others in my research group feel about me. Knowing that Rikka thought I was doing something 'right' was almost a sigh of relief.
So, after getting feedback from Colin, Jason, Andy and Carolyn, I sent the proposal off to Lynda with just about everything crossed. I will find out sometime in mid-late February whether or not my proposal will be funded. I'd really like to see this funded as it would be GREAT for all of our students!
