Writer, writer, why is the knight riding a quarter horse? Quarter horses are a specific breed bred for a specific purpose (running in very fast sprints, working with cattle) and if anything, are associated with cowboys, not knights--and the story doesn't take place on Earth. "Warhorse" or "destrier" would have been more correct as a general term for a horse used by a knight in combat. Palfrey would be the correct term if it was a horse specifically for riding. #writing #nitpicks

ARC has requested National Interest Test edits.

Selection meeting next week, so #NITpicks must be based on detailed assessor & draft College scores.

Large fraction of apps picked (but not all) so
🔸NIT-picked ≠ funded
🔸Not NIT-picked ≠ not funded

Now in middle of ARC's goal period for #DP23 announcement, "2nd half Nov". But CEO stated in #SenateEstimates that #NITpicks might take 'til "end of month". So, early Dec?

History👇
DP23 started 2.5mo late coz of #DP22 #preprints & security checking stuff-ups

ARC is up at #SenateEstimates today, 5:30pm AEDT. Unfortunately, I can't watch it live, but you can: https://www.aph.gov.au/News_and_Events/Watch_Parliament

I'll try to report main points tomorrow once I'v caught up.

Hopefully the (stupid) National Interest Test & the (even worse) #NITpicks will be discussed.
