One thing that annoys me about rejection letters is fake concern about my wellbeing. Just regret to inform me, thank me for the time and interest, give feedback if you have the capacities. Do not pretend that you understand & care that this may upset me or not be what I wanted. No shit Sherlock.

The map very much resembles the old iron curtain divide, with the glaring exception of 🇮🇹Italy which has joined with Hungary and 5 other Eastern European countries in refusing to sign.

This is why asking the question “what does the Spanish blackout tells us about the risks of switching to renewables” is wrong. Renewables already are a huge deal. Sorry to tell you that we gotta talk about boring stuff like grid connections and software maintenance, but renewables are here to stay.

One thing I can deal with: Rejection. But can we do away with the "it was just competitive, your proposal was very good" instead of giving feedback that helps you to be better despite the ALWAYS hard competition in academia?! It's a no brainer that others were better when your proposal is reject🙄
