thanks,its good to hear im not being crazy.the other person is funded by the same grant but is not my supervisor.most of the work done in my paper was done before he even started.im so upset about it,when i said to my PI i was told 'i decide who goes on papers'.i think that to get this person to work in our lab the PI told him that he would get joint 1st authorship.Im at my wits end about what to do next actually,we argued about it and it seems that it makes no difference what i say-any suggestions about what to do-im tempted to say if he's joint first he can write the paper then!
im currently having big probs with my supervisor regarding both a presentation and papers.im giving a presentation on my work (only mine) at a uni event and im being forced to agknowledge someone who has contributed nothing!after discussion about this i asked my supervisor about my paper and he said i may have accept joint 1st authorship-i am totally unwilling to do this as i have done ALL the work,the other individual has developed (copied) a method that i will use,however this is a widely used technique.Regardless he will contribute no figures-so its my 1st authorship??-am i going mad or is this crazy and it should obviously be my paper!!!
hi,dont know whether this will helpp but ive been doing a radioactive binding assay using tritium. I was measuring IP3 production.Basically to test whether the whole thing was knacked i established my standard curve using triplicates. I then bought in some IP3 and made it up to known concentrations say 1M I then did the assay using that sample and did a count reading and extrapolated to work out IP3 concentration to see if it came out as 1M-if you dont get 1M theres probably some issue with the kit rather than you doing something wrong!!this is a lot more likely,these kits are notoriusly awkward,hope this helps!
Ive just done my first year viva and I thought this would spur me on,er no!!!Wine and chocolate help me slightly but I feel alcohol dependance is not really a good thing.Any suggestions, Im getting desperate the ethanol sprays in my lab are getting ever more tempting and I ve already had cheesecake!
