> So all this scoring of ourselves against the geek novel list reminded me of

http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/9/8/9/1),
> which quantifies an individuals scientific output as the number of papers
> (peer-reviewed) you have written that have been cited at least that number
> of times. My h-index is 1 (I've written one peer-reviewed paper that got
> cited once); real scientists score in the 20-40 range after 20 years or so
> in the business. So what's the highest h-index in FRIAM?

> The Physics World correspondence that followed their item on the h-index
> drew a parallel with the Eddington Number E, invented by famed astronomer
> and amateur cyclist Arthur Eddington. E is defined as the highest number of
> days in your life on which you have cycled more than E miles. My E is about
> 15. Eddington's was 87 when he died. So who's got the highest E number here?
