最近在申请牛顿国际奖学金 (Newton International Fellowship)，王亚楠撺掇我和 Diego Altamirano 联合申请的。

最初我还比较迷，以为Diego作为我博后老板，申请这个基金到他那儿去干活。后来发现，其实更像他拉着我，一起找英国政府要钱，我们是合作者，当然他作为英国的 host 对我有培训和提供帮助的义务。

At this point, two references are Silvia Zane @UCL and Meriano @U of Groningen. Besides the proposal, everything works fine.

So the last but the hug problem remains is about the proposal. As Diego commented that my proposal at this stage looks like a bunch of material put together in 5 minutes. Damn! that’s harsh.

I have 3 days left to finalize my proposal. Let’s go, mate.
