I’m more surprised they didn’t try to corner the thieving and grifting market for their own.

I think they’ve over corrected on the suits thing, wearing those tuxedos all the time is probably overkill.

A spokeswoman for Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) said that when Irish researchers collaborate with the US, the Irish side of the project is usually funded directly by SFI with the US picking up the tab for their side.

That sounds good. How do SFI get their funding? Irish government?

Either;

A. You don’t take on any new tasks before the meeting. You’re already too distracted by the meeting to start anything new. So now you’re sitting there killing time for an hour until the meeting starts. You were doodling in a notepad, missed the start of the meeting, and joined 5 minutes late.

B. You were working on something and didn’t realise it was meeting time. Someone messages you 5 minutes after the meeting started, reminding you to join. You’ve completely forgotten what the meeting is about and it takes you a further 5 minutes to get your bearings.
