# We're dangerously close to talking shop here.
We'll end up comparing lists of our publications in a minute...

# Aww, it'll get there.
Mind you, it's different in different fields. I've heard in physics one evry couple years ain't bad, but in other things, you need four a year or more.

# I'm in maths now, where everyone gets away with 1 a year
(i'm a 1st year phd student so I'm pretty lucky to have what I've got)

in fields like optics/plasma, you'd need 4 to survive because if you don't publish, the ARC hates you.

# I've just been lucky in the fields of research I'm in.
Lucky all round, really. I'm supposedly the youngest postdoc ever to have started at Bern and I managed to get a wodge of papers from my Ph. D. It was very odd giving undergrad lectures to people older than me.

# hmm. I'd rather not. If publications were dick sizes, I would have a large sports car.

# Another inorganic chap heard I'm into magnetism.
And said 'magnetism and masturbation are the same thing. Both happen in a dark place and it's a relief when they're over.'

Chemistry is fun*.
