purplecthulhu at 02:59am on 24/05/2017I usually refrain from THWUMP posts for academic writing, partly because I end up as a coauthor on lots of papers thanks to huge Planck and Herschel collaborations, but also because this is my day job and I don't get paid by the publishers of papers (sometimes quite the opposite in fact).
However, if you define a thwump post as being for paid writing I can now do one for an academic paper...
Back in January I was quite unexpectedly invited to submit a paper titled 'An Introduction to the Planck Mission' for a journal published by the IoP that is aimed at late stage students and general physicists.
They wanted about 20 pages of writing providing an introduction to Planck and its science by the end of May. It would then be refereed and, if accepted, published.
And if I could do this all to schedule they'd pay me 600 quid!
I didn't know such things could happen and, needless to say, have got the article in on time.
I'll reveal the journal's name and let you know where to get hold of the paper as an online preprint once it's accepted.
