whacky week

Talking of which, last week I put together the whackiest research proposal I have ever done.

and also one of the most fun and intellectually stimulating.

This is actually saying something, I have co-authored proposals with the phrase "high risk" in the abstract (ooooo!), and got them funded!

It will be very very interesting to see how this one does.
Hey, if it works out I might blog it in 1-3 years...

Well, can you at least give us a (small) hint as to what it's about?

It involves the use of a lab. It might even have practical applications should it actually work.

It is relatively cheap, unlike the other thing I put my name to this week, which will require at least a billion dollars should any federal agency accept the concept.

Making outrageous requests is kinda fun, even contagious.
