erdos number = 8

more than a year after first trying to figure out what my erdos number, is, or if i even have one, committee member geoff has come to the rescue by posting his on his lab profile. in 4 days, i'll officially have an in-press co-authored paper with dr. detre (hold your applause), which means the chain goes thusly:

Step 2: John Detre with Eric Zarahn: Aguirre GK, Detre JA, Zarahn E, Alsop DC. 2002. Experimental design and the relative sensitivity of BOLD and perfusion fMRI. Neuroimage. 2002 Mar;15(3):488-500.

Step 8: Charles Kam-tai Chui with Paul Erdős: Borosh, I.; Chui, C. K.; Erdős, P. On changes of signs in infinite series. Anal. Math. 4 (1978), no. 1, 3-12.

Yes! One more thing to strike off the bucket list!
