I never got one Nature paper. I was cheated of one, though!
Early in my post doc career, i was the first person to detect nitric oxide (NO) in the exhaled breath condensate of three mammalian species, with another young post doc who was smart with mass spectrometry. We cooked up a chemical “trap” which covalently captured NO & yielded a stable product with an m/z that was clear of biological junk.
I didn’t do much thinking tbh but I did enough.
By the time the paper was submitted I’d got demoted to a technical mention.
That paper was cited hundreds of times.
I’m not bitter now & I wasn’t then.
I don’t easily bear grudges, the most useless of human emotions!
