I'm going to be published!

Don't get all excited you fanfic writers, I am getting a scientific paper published. Finally. Finally.

Goodness this has been a long process. Though it is very technical it still feels like a half step, like the work I did will be a launching pad for someone else's work. It definitely threw up more questions than it answered. However, working on this paper has reinforced my original feelings that I love science and lab work and hate all the papers and the writing in formal abstract scientific frameworks and I am so glad I left the dark vortex that is science academia.
