It’s past midnight and I’ve just helped submit a manuscript to the highly-esteemed Science journal. This would’ve been a real exciting time except that it’s NOT my paper! Unfortunately, the first author of this particular paper is out sick, leaving it up to the 4th author (out of 11), me, to do the dirty work of putting the figures, statistics, and final text together. In fact, I’ve pretty much been working full time on this guy’s project for the past 3 weeks, which is hilarious given that I’ve got lab meeting to present tomorrow. Too bad I can’t present HIS data.
