text: Publication Strategy…If I can't beat 'em, I'll wait 'em out… | Tales of the Genomic Repairman
  As I previously worked on the Klenow fragment of DNA Pol I, I have to say big ups for Kornberg!
  He had to "wait" a whole year? Dude, that ain't "waiting"...
  Its not a huge amount of time, but I'm surprised he didn't try to shop his work around elsewhere.
  How long did Darwin wait?
  Darwin waited around 20 years to publish his work, but that was mostly due to what he was proposing ran counter to societal and religious beliefs at the time. Newton also sat on some of his findings for a decade or two.
  "In view of the two months' delay already suffered by these manuscripts, I would greatly appreciate a prompt decision."
  I'm so using this in my next response to reviewers!
