I just received word that our paper (my co-workers and I) was accepted by the International Journal of Cancer. It should be out soon. I am author #3 on this one!!!!!Congratulations! That’s awesome news! 
Awesome!
care to give us a preview … tell us about the project, your role and how you came to be third author ?
Right On!!!
I work as a Sr. Research Technician at a Cancer Hospital in NYC. The paper was based on a project in which we were screening a group of people that have Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer or HNPCC-Like. We were screening the hMSH6 gene for possible cancer causing mutations. We ruled this gene out from this phenotype.
I am author #3 because I did about 95% of the screening work by designing the experiments, doing about 85% of the data analysis and putting together a good part of the data base. All I needed to do was write part of the paper and I would have made #2, but that was for one of my bosses to do.
As soon as I get the citation, I will post it.
Congrats! I can’t wait to see the link to your article.
Love,
Stacy
