@mediapr I still haven’t gotten the email either. Have other people been receiving the emails? Also, when would they begin calling for finalist status? Tomorrow?
@guilou25 yeah, they call the day before the official announcement.
As far as the badges, there are only 124 Semifinalists badges showing on the sight as of right now, and we know there are 300, so I guess it doesn’t mean much.
@mediapr Actually, when I go on the website, I apparently have earned the badges even though I haven’t received the email. Also, does it mean anything about finalist status if you don’t have research report or initiative badges even though you have semifinalist status?
I’m a semifinalist and I have no badges. Nor do 3 friends of mine. So strange. Did you log in to see them or just look on the site without logging in?
@mediapr I didn’t receive an email, but after logging in at http://badging.societyforscience.org/ I saw that I earned badges.
@guilou25 based on what I’ve heard, the finalist status does not depend on the badges. There have been people who’ve become finalists without earning either badge, and there have been finalists with either one or two badges as well. I think in the end, the badges don’t really mean too much.
when do finalists get the call during the day?
@sscb205 When I log in I only see my previous years of badges from ISEF awards. Nothing from STS. There are much less than 300 badges for 2016 semifinalists and much much less than 1750 badges for entrants, so I guess they only made it through a part of the badging. And finalists in siemens who have great projects and are semifinalists also have no badges including Maria Grimmett, the 1st place winner, so that’s comforting! LOL
Did anyone hear anything?
Nope. Not yet.
Anyone got the call yet?
Did anyone get an email from Ms. Sullivan about badges earlier this afternoon?
Yup, about badges
Yup, got that.
I think calls usually come out at 5
i’m on the west coast…i think we only find out around 5 PST? not sure…
What time should we assume we didn’t get it?
@ScienceGeekGirl probably tomorrow when they officially release the list.
Going by last year’s thread probably 9:00 tops unless you missed a call.
(I didn’t get a call to tell you it has or hasn’t started)
9:00 pacific or local time?
has anybody heard anything?
