I hope that they BOTH remember to keep you in the loop henceforth and forevermore.ArkieDukie wrote: ↑August 5th, 2019, 6:57 pmSo, the PI talked to the postdoc, who then came and talked to me. I completely misunderstood what he did, and it was nowhere near as bad as he made it sound in the meeting. (He said table when he had created multiple separate sheets in an excel workbook.) All is well. Whew!
If I had talked to the postdoc first, as was my original intent, I could’ve cleared things up more quickly. However, now they both know that I need to be kept in the loop on changes with my data. That is the best outcome.

Re: an interesting dilemma...
I had to resurrect this thread to tell y’all my big news, because it seems appropriate to put it here. During the covid lockdown, I wrote a paper in which I rebutted two very high profile papers. I downloaded and re-analyzed some of their data and demonstrated why their conclusions were wrong. Not fraudulent, just careless. One (published in Science, no less) was so bad that it should be retracted.
Yesterday, I received a departmental award for Outstanding Paper of the Year for this work. I couldn’t help but think back on so many things, among them the circumstances of my last departure from Wash U. Karma?

Re: an interesting dilemma...
Congratulations, and thanks for the thread resurrection. I hadn't heard of this place in 2011 (you folks go back a ways!), but that was a very interesting story. I like the capstone on it even better!
