I'm a science librarian and am always looking for good stories about the science publishing process and this will be a great example to talk about with undergrads. Passions and science! How awesome.

Putting the human face on science. Even if one doesn't really care about the field, the human interest story is fascinating. Thanks! Way to go! Putting the human face on science.

Several years ago, a friend asked some collaborators in Spain to observe some fields for him. Imagine his surprise when they claimed the stars for themselves and published the data! A few years ago, there was a rush to publish because someone had looked through the telescope log books and found what others had done and was using OTHER PEOPLE's coordinates for his observing and then beating them to the punch on publishing. In this particular case, he was found out, but yes, this happens ALL OF THE TIME in science. It honestly doesn’t surprise me.
