I know, I know, I know. We don’t get credit for being in the acknowledgments. But sometimes I feel like I haven’t accomplished very much yet, so it’s nice to think about the tiny contributions I may have made to some of my friends’ science-y things. To that end, here are some papers and/or dissertations in which I’m on the acknowledgements (or I’m mentioned somewhere for having contributed specimen(s)). This is mostly for me, when I get bummed out about someone else’s H-index, etc.
