I am quite proud of the PNAS thing..I had only been at NIH for four months when I was informed my data was going to be included. Sadly, since it was the end of study really, I am not listed with the authors but acknowledged later. Still for a journeyman lab rat(tech) who only has a BS degree I consider publication of data in a prestigous journal the pinnacle of my career so far.
And yeah, I was surprised too when I first posted here, and hearing all the smart, dedicated people I have met on my journey trashed as closed minded, money grubbing shills or robots for the administration really really bothers me....
