After submitting a FOIA request UKRI, I obtained success rates by three grant call scheme and I can only say that I am disheartened by the results:

- AHRC Responsive Mode 2025: 2%
- ESRC New Investigator Grant 2025: 1%
- ESRC Research Grant Round 2025: 1%

Gage survived an accident in which an iron rod shot through his frontal lobe that damaged his social capacities

Great news! But also, a reason why trust in science is low. Recommendations in nutrition science keep changing. For those who understand science, this is normal. For others it seems like a flip flop. We need to normalize change as scientific progress.
