Just a quick plug whilst I settle in down here in Jo'burg...
Actually, I've never even tried to get properly published in Nature - I've yet to stray into fields of study that are 'sexy' enough. Nonetheless, thanks to the mysteriously vanished Postblogger's heads-up, I'm getting the chance to sneak a few words of wisdom into print, as one of this years' four Postdoc Journal keepers. 200-250 words a month might not seem like very much wisdom, but I know some very long words...
My first entry was published the Thursday before last. Quite why I was deemed worthy is uncertain - I suspect that my exotic post-doc destination probably helped matters, but I suspect that all the writing practice I've had on these pages in recent months probably helped too.

nice work! Hope all is well in j'burg.
Where in Jo-burg are you?
I'm currently staying a short walk from the University, on the boundary of Auckland Park and Melville. It's fairly pleasant, actually.
You cheater!
