I too know the joys of working in an obscure area :). Another upside is that you'll get basically no questions even at specialist conferences, and those'll probably be piss easy too.

And are you trying to say that Indiana Jones doesn't do 'Science!'?

I would be willing to put money on the assertion that Indiana Jones has never had an article published in Nature. The Most Pulp Man In The Universe he may be, but Dr McPublish maybe less so.

H. Jones, Screw it -- no one will believe me anyway, Nature 2, 423 - 427 (1961).

Surely it's Jones H., (2001) J. AM CHEM., (237 - 537) How I shot web?

Pleasingly enough, on page 423 of the 1961 issue of Nature is a short article concerning Australian Aborigines. Or, rather, a selection of comments concerning someone else's short article.
