Fame, perhaps. Fortune? if only.

Someone in the administration has decided that the abstract I've submitted for the conference I'm going to in two weeks (eep!) is worthy of a press release.

Well, gosh.

For some reason, I feel like scientific renown is my goal. However, press releases make me feel all squicky. Perhaps it's because there's some sense in the scientific community that press releases are for people who toot their own horn, or something. And the popular press invariably misses some fundamental scientific concept that renders the whole articles unintelligible to an actual scientist.

Ah well. Recognition is good anyway, right?

Press release probably won't be put out until this conference. I'll post a link once it does come out.
