^(sorry Holloway_Girl - digression time).
But Enzyme, you don't render your PhD inadmissable by publishing from it. In fact, it's perfectly acceptable to form your thesis from papers you have written over the course of your 3 years of research. (Okay, 3.5 years of research.) Not all the research you do will go into your thesis after all, or is that not the case in your discipline? Perhaps that's the science approach.

You are fortunate in getting to publish now. But then, you're not getting screwed over by your place of work... :) It is different though - you sit down and write a paper; I have to design experiments, come up with algorithms, test them, analyse them, then write about them. Different process.
