But she still got a pretty good paper because she had data the other group didn't and emphasized that aspect of the paper. The nice thing about doing method development is that every approach is a little different and everybody uses different data sets to demonstrate what they've created. Worst case scenario, you end up with a "me too" paper, but it's better than having nothing at all. Cindy more or less got scooped.
