It just needs a few minor tweaks before it goes out. The "Alabamornis" and Thoracosaurus papers still need to be finished, though, so I had better get it in gear!Brian Switekhttp://www.wired.com/wiredscience/laelapsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242881996852098.post-73548591010483192212010-12-05T02:56:12.589-08:002010-12-05T02:56:12.589-08:00Hang on!

A paper on the history of the World's first helicopter lift of a dinosaur specimen from the field(1967, Alberta) has evolved into a bigger project, with a bio on the pilot and the history of helicopter use in Earth Sciences in Canada, plus the specific history of the 1967 lift. The co-author came through with the bio, so now I am cutting, pasting, and rewriting some sections. Looks good for the Dec. 31st deadline. The Hope Johnson extended abstract has not been started..... maybe bit off more than I can chew? Still have 3.5 weeks though.

The croc description is about 80% but I've got some re-photography to do and still more stippling/illustration, so we'll see. My focus is on a NSF resubmission so this might be the best I do for PPC. I still think an April 1st PPC is a more appropriate date, that way we all have an out if we fail. <br /><br />CaseyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242881996852098.post-12732370919670789312010-12-04T08:55:58.046-08:002010-12-04T08:55:58.046-08:00The ms is nearing completion, though it sits in co...The ms is nearing completion, though it sits in co-author limbo at the moment. Just need to run a quick cladistic analysis and finish up the discussion and we should be ready to submit. Whether it will be before the new year or not, I'm not sure. It'll be close, though.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18306507145878559839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242881996852098.post-65750054091111653842010-12-04T08:16:49.874-08:002010-12-04T08:16:49.874-08:00Almost there...

I pushed the necks paper hard, but, as happens sometimes, the revisions ultimately left me dropping from 1st authorship (that goes to Mike Taylor). So while the paper was submitted well before the end of the time (and even came back and revisions submitted to the journal) 'my' PPC paper isn't really mine anymore.<br /><br />I also started, and finished, and then submitted an entire manuscript so there's not much to do there before the 31st. I've had several papers come back to me from journals which is good, but tehnicalities means I can't finish any of them before the 31st deadline.<br /><br />So really, I've achieved all I wanted to and indeed more with the PPC. But really this was over for me by mid November, so it's not like I feel I was pushed by this or really got into the PPC as a real motivator. <br /><br />So, how have the rest of you done?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
