I've been overtly hinting that there is a lot going on here, so a quick summary of the ever changing landscape of a near graduating grad student.
Manuscript 1: Recently rejected, still on track for eventual publication
Manuscript 2: In the hands of my collaborators, and then going directly to Dr. Boss before submission to publication (read: I'm done, I think)
Manuscript 3: This is mostly going to be a project for my undergrad, but this week I finished my contribution to this until the summer. In the summer, we may both be working on this story full time.
Manuscript 4: This is a new, and short, collaboration with the collaborator on Manuscript 1- I am on track to finish this in time to start writing.
93 days until defense, 16 days until I start writing. I keep setting this as a date, I plan to stop all experiments for 2 months to write like a crazy person. I might not come in to work- I'll see what is effective for me. Job hunt is slowed by the business of above, but I am on the hunt for science policy, or applied science jobs, or jobs that involve technical communication. Since I don't have a finish date here in Dr. Boss's lab (assume end of the summer, but this will depend on how Manuscripts 1 and 3 shake out), there is still lots of time on the clock to find something- if you hear of anyone looking to hire, send them my way!
