As Dr Chou and myself walked to Redfern last night we mused about how lucky we were to work with some very smart people; people who (within a rather narrow community, admittedly) are world-famous.

And then this morning I looked at the front page of Nature.com, and read a name that I know is familiar to at least some readers of the Rat. Maybe not fame, but a little notoriety at least:

Oh, the main picture there; I don't think we're related but she may have tried to chat me up at a party once.

Comments

notoriety indeed :)

Small (?) things that make life a little less hard to live through.

Personally, I am enjoying my little fame under a pseudonym in the lablit corner of the world ;) (shameless plug I know! what's a poor post doc to do?)

If only I didn't work at a place that wants to read everything you write if their name can be traced back to you... ah well, I enjoy the psuedo, a little paranoid as I might be...

About the Rat

Black Knight is interested in the interaction of science (as a day job and as a way of thinking) with his family, the wider community and literature. And tormenting students. Frequently polemical, sometimes serious, and hopefully always entertaining more
