publication excitement wow
kristin, the grad student in my lab, is leaving today after spending three days in atlanta. she met with her advisors and gave a seminar on her work to date and it looks like she can graduate by this fall!!! and she's only been in school for 3 years. but she won't just yet because she still has howard hughes funding for 2 more years and she still has experiments she wants to run - she just finished her first project, comparative genomics of the treponemes, and it looks like she'll get it published in NATURE!!! she'll be sending it to science and PNAS (proceedings of the national academy of science) if nature doesn't accept it - which i seriously doubt. and if all goes well, i'll be co-author! really excited about that...
my own work though is looking good too. bret says it's definitely good enough for journal of microbio but george and kristin think that if i play my cards right i can get it in PNAS. not bad for my very first research paper. not bad at all.
the parental units arrive on monday.
i defend my thesis on wednesday.
let's see if bruce levin hires me on friday.
things would be perfect if i wasn't feeling so shitty. i hate getting sick.
