Scientific Fantastic-ness...Maybe: Part 2

Ok, after the meeting earlier this week about a possible major shift in my thesis (which, some experiments need to be done to see if I can make a legal turn), there was another glimmer of scientific fantastic-ness today.

So much of my data has been weird and questionable at best. Which, most scientific journals aren't looking for weird and questionable. The one part of my project that is trudging along, yet is just ho-hum, nothing terribly interesting, would get me a first author paper in Billy Bob's Journal of Science Stuff, you know, a publication, but nothing remotely wow or in that great a journal.

While looking at some of my data and comparing it to previously published stuff, there might be some novel...and INTERESTING...stuff lurking in my ho-hum data. Again, this isn't definite, right now, it's kinda 50/50 whether it is or not. But just the possibility that my ho-hum data might be a bit more interesting...I am just in research heaven.

Plus...Dateline tonight! and the weekend!
