Not To Be Trusted With Knives: Publish or Perish. True Dat.

    Is it wrong that after noticing the 'hi dan*' in the footnotes I immediately wondered how I could add this to my cv or the introduction to my next work?

    * I am assuming that I am the only dan you know (LOL)

    You're very right about academia not being the only ones who need to publish or perish. Non-profits are constantly writing grants in order to stay afloat. I'm sure there are others, but since that it my "area of expertise" it came to mind first.

    Thanks for the picture credit! It's weird to see my pictures up on other people's blogs!

    @dan - Yup, you are the Dan to whom I was referring. And no, it's not wrong to wonder how you could add this reference to your CV. Which makes me think, I'd have a great publication list if I listed each blog entry as a publication. Which, technically, they are.

    @paperbackwriter - yeah, I've worked for non-profits before and remember the constant writing of grant applications. Fortunately, in that case, I pawned that work off on someone else and got to focus on the fun stuff. In my job now, I have to do it all!
