Wow, that is amazing. Would you mind forwarding him a few questions for me?
1. How much time per week should you budget working towards the award? is this something you can realistically do while working full-time?
2. Likewise, how much of your award do you credit to hard work as opposed to networking or who-you-know?
3. How good do I have to be at Excel? I barely made it through an hour of the Lynda.com course and I swear I was getting nosebleeds, lol. Seriously though, any way I can cut the fat here?
4. What do you use to make your graphs? I've been working with MSPaint but they always come out looking sloppy. Will the committee penalize me if I outsource some of this?
5. If so many people want to win one of these, why do they give you a big cash prize? Shouldn't this be the other way around? It seems like this would keep prospective Nobel suppliers from entering the market, correct?
Many thanks.
