Hallo to everybody.
Yes, I know, I have been away for more than a month, but I was caught by flu and, even worse, by writing an article. A dreadful experience, ending in an even more dreadful way: we will have to wait to publish, as the results we have did not prove sufficient. And it is not even my fault!
It is terrible. If as scientist I am to be evaluated on the basis of publications, I can apply for a position of lab-cleaner... this independently from all my efforts...
What does it mean? That I love research but I am not suitable for it? Am I the microtechnology Cyrano?
Or only that I have to go to Lourdes (or to the Mecca, to be sure that I have tested any chance)?
Why did nobody write something about zen and publications disappointment?
Or at least edit the "Journal of unpredictable mistakes "?
