Sneks et al. 2006

I just got an email that one of my papers was cited in another paper.

This happens to famous scientists every day, I am sure. (Like RyGuy and his book citations)

But I get just a bit excited when it is my paper that gets a citation! That means someone actually read my paper!!!!! And not just read it, but thought it was important enough to mention in their paper! And it's not even someone I know (usually my citations are by collaborators)!

A sad little highlight of my science-filled life!
