Branching out...

Researcher with a background in basic neuro steps into the cancer arena (of the not remotely neuro-related sort). Just submitted the first paper. Nothing earth shattering*, but I haven't felt this uncomfortable about a submission since the first one back in grad school. It's not the prospect of rejection, of course - that's almost expected in some form or other first time around - but the prospect of looking like an idiot. This clip rather aptly encapsulates my essential feelings about this foray beyond my comfort zone: * absolute best case scenario, it might be my ticket into the prestigious and hallowed Hall of Fame of Scientists Who Have Sorta Cured Cancer In Vitro**** These peeps should totally get an annual conference together; it would be bigger than SfN!
