Rapid Response:

Triviality

The importance of getting a publication has been emphasised to us
medical students also. A major selling point of undertaking an
intercalated degree is the possibility of getting work published, putting
you in a higher stead when applying for jobs.

In this culture of ticking off boxes - getting something published
'no matter how trivial' so long as your name is in print - I wonder...
could I add this rapid response to my CV? :)
