I got an article in Nature!

I was asked some time ago to write a News & Views article for Nature on a recently accepted Nature paper titled "Suppression of star formation in the galaxy NGC 253 by a starburst-driven molecular wind" by Bolatto et al. This was very exciting since it's pretty much any scientists dream to publish in Nature! Ok it's not a full article, but still, it's Nature! ...and it's pretty much the last thing I'll do for astronomy.

News & Views articles are written for a non-specialist audience, describing a full science paper in that same journal edition - what the authors did, the scientific context, the paper's shortcomings and strengths, implications and future directions, etc.

So here it is for posterity. "How to catch a galactic wind" by Mark Westmoquette.

The nice thing is they also featured it on their front cover!
