So I had some other post I was going to put up about how I've been really happy in my laziness, etc., BUT....

ALL THAT NORMAL STUFF DOES NOT MATTER.

Because I just heard that my paper was just accepted to SCIENCE.

Yes, not your humdrum run of the mill publications: SCIENCE.

SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How am I supposed to revise my talk NOW!?!?!

Ok, so I have to admit, this news stuns me. I had worried if people out there would think my project as cool as I did. I had worried that I was about to graduate without a publication to my name. I had worried that my boss had thought too optimistically of our work when he submitted it, and I was mortified that he'd been telling people right and left that we'd submitted it to Science, and once we got rejected I'd have to go around telling people with a meek voice that it hadn't been accepted.

I was so worried and nervous that I didn't even blog that we submitted it.

BUT NOW I CAN. BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED FOR PUBLICATION. :P And when I talk about my project next Monday, I can say, proudly, "And this work has been accepted for publication into Science." I'll try not to squeal or do a silly dance, but I can't promise that.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAAH

Dude. I don't know what I'm supposed to be more happy about: defending and getting my doctrate, or getting published in one of the premiere scientific publications in the world? ;)
