simply golden.
And what exactly is this Earth-shattering research that you're trying to get published? Knowing you. I can only imagine....
As someone currently sweating over an approaching conference paper deadline in between occasional Slog visits, I love it.
Hah! I feel your pain.
working for hours on a slog post? seriously?
Brilliant!
@5 Some of them. This one took all of ten minutes. I've spent hours researching a not-yet-posted one on clean coal, however.
@2. Chromatin changes during early mouse and human embryonic stem cell differentiation, with a particular focus on histone tail modification at the Brachyury T locus. Thanks for asking!
I'm with BA. Anybody Who spends hours on a Slog post has serious problems (did you hear that, Charles?).
Chaz only spends hours on them because he is high, and because he scans thousands of google images before posting just 3 of them.
Unless you're on revision 42 or more, stop whining.
that was awesome...however you need a subsequent letter on "now that you have accepted my paper for publication when are you going to publish it" it can address questions like, why should this take 2 years, and why can't i release any of my data yet (particularly when the health field moves so fast that when this is released it will already be old...makely it more ilrelevant to policy considerations)
I found the review process to be quite rewarding. The sort of back and forth argumentation that you have between reviewers and authors is what I expected to find more of when I went into science. Sadly, the day to day of science is much more mundane and workaday, largely without that dialectic component.
Will any of this research move us closer to flying cars or, better yet, teleportation?
@13: No, but maybe when your liver wears out, doctors could grow you a new one.
@14 In the battle of flying car while young vs replacement liver when old, flying car wins.
PA Native @13 & @15,
It sounds like something that might keep you alive and young-at-heart longer, increasing your chance of enjoying a flying car whenever it arrives.
@16...if, indeed, it is published in time to actually be relevant..
Hang on a sec; when has anyone ever torn a Jonathan Golob slog post to shreds?
That's not a shred-tearing. That's about as mean as a green bell pepper. In order for Jonathan's complaints to have any validity, he's going to have to post something really controversial ("Obama is technically a woman"), so he can feel the real burn.
You have a point there, Fnarf. I can only imagine that things like "Obama is technically a woman" tend to get pruned out over the course of young Jonathan's several-hours-long SLOG post composition process.
Between being a research student and (attempting to) publish, how do you possibly find time to post on slog? What kind of priority list are you working with here? (Of course, I appreciate your slog posts!)
I remember whe
