For the serious bio-heads, really (which is... just one of you, actually).
CD43 Regulation of T Cell Activation is not Through Steric Inhibition of T Cell-APC Interactions but through an Intracellular Mechanism, Tong J., et al., 2004, J Exp. Med., v199, pp 1277-1283
That's my Master's thesis. There is one figure out of four that isn't my work (if anyone's interested, I can show you my originals). Admittedly, that figure is what actually completes the story. I'm bemused that it took them 4 years after I left the lab to actually finish the work, when I would've had it done in six months.
However, what's of note to me is that my name isn't on the paper. My name's in the acknowledgements, at the very end, in the typical small print. When, really, I'm the first author, and the primary writer. But my name's not on that paper. Mostly because I never sent a final, edited, copy of my Master's thesis to my boss, after I moved to Ann Arbor. I was sick of the stuff by that point. So I suppose it's a fair trade off.
Silly me. I could've had one, just one, first author paper to take with me into this crazy process. Oopsie.
