Early in my post doc career, i was the first person to detect nitric oxide (NO) in the exhaled breath condensate of three mammalian species, with another young post doc who was smart with mass spectrometry. We cooked up a chemical “trap” which covalently captured NO & yielded a stable product with an m/z that was clear of biological junk.
I didn’t do much thinking tbh but I did enough.
By the time the paper was submitted I’d got demoted to a technical mention.
That paper was cited hundreds of times.
I’m not bitter now & I wasn’t then.
I don’t easily bear grudges, the most useless of human emotions!
That’s because you are a rare person of character. And it’s why you are a beacon of light in this whole Covid drama. It’s shocking to see how small the group is of likeminded professionals.
Still, I’m sorry to hear you got rooked out of a Nature paper. I guess you saw how the system worked early in your professional career. It encouraging to see that instead of learning to conform, you chose your own path.

Love it, that’s about right!
Mike, did you happen to see the new data on covid hospitalizations? The most unusual news report I’ve ever seen, presenting JUST facts.
In Israel.
Oh, at the ‘new’ end of this thread, a direct link to an Israeli News source. That was the whole point…this thread…
