Doing a jig

I recall once my graduate advisor coming running out of her office to do a pirouette in the middle of her lab because she got a big grant funded.  (Good thing too, since that grant funded a lot of my research.)  I now know the feeling... not because I got a grant funded. I'm still trying to figure out how to submit an NSF grant while I'm at NIH for post-post-doc money - but its proving to be a pain because funding agencies don't like to mix.  So no grant, but I did have a manuscript sent out for review at Science!  This might be a bad thing to post because, though acceptance has a better chance at this point, they could still boot it and I could be jinxing it.  But this was my goal - go out for review!  ~80% of the submissions to Science don't make it to review, so I consider this a huge win!  Upon reading the email, I leaped out of my chair and did a jig.  If it gets into Science, even better! Keep your fingers crossed for me. For now though, I'll celebrate this achievement.  You've gotta appreciate the high points in this career whenever they come.
