🙋‍♀️ We have an NSF award for a new mass spec ❤️ but the funds can’t be delivered until FY25… which is contingent on congress passing a spending bill. Anyone else gone through this? Did you get help from your institution to start the project? Or did you just have to wait for the funds? #academicsky
