A more bizarre story... Last time I said something like that was in 2004, when a postdoc, a fellow PhD student and I had found some strange hexagonal patterns in the activity of a type of neurons. It was beautiful, very regular and unlike anything we had seen before. When we showed it to our supervisors they thought it was an artifact in my computation, which they after a while had to accept it was not. We submitted a paper to Nature, but instead of refusing it -- which they had done to anything we had sent to them before -- they strangely accepted it. The reviewer even said the discovery was as important as the discovery of pinwheels in visual cortex. That made us all laugh, because we knew David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel had won the Nobel prize for that -- so obviously the reviewer was exaggerating. But it is always nice to get good reviews. I stopped laughing about that comment on October the 6th last year when I heard our supervisors had gotten a phone call from Stockholm.
