Davidson Fellows Scholarship 2020

Just checking to see if anyone else is waiting to hear about the Davidson Fellows for 2020 :). Thanks!

Did anyone get any notification yet?

Have not heard back. I guess tomorrow?

lol anyone hear back?

nope

Does anyone know how many people apply for davidson every year? Considering the scope of the project needed for submission, I would assume it would not be over 1000.

Not sure. But I just heard from someone I know that they received an email and they are a recipient.

Anyone else get anything?

Hey, all the recipients are now on Davidson website now. I just checked and was surprised to find out one of the honorable mentions in Science had her research paper on Thompson Backscattering retracted by the Optical Society of America last September. It was due to ethical violation and research misconduct.

What a bummer!

Her paper was retracted due to ethical violation, academic misconduct. Her draft version is at least at MS/PhD level. Was is purchased?

The number one item in the Core Values of Davidson Fellows is Integrity (i.e., Honesty).

This is totally insane. Somebody should inform Davidson, and they should look into it.
