Today a paper came out in Science that basically did my entire Ph.D. project, although in mice instead of humans. Still, it takes a lot of the novelty away. I wanted that Science paper!
And the authors submitted it in July 2020, so they’ve had an extra year ahead of where I am . . . I wonder if they’re going to publish a human paper next.
Anyway, I guess I should be happy at this scientific advancement, but it isn’t great for my prestige. And I’ll need to rework large chunks of my F31 application, because now there is a precedent. Grrrrrr.
