At the end of a paper it thanks me for technical assistance. That assistance was doing the experiment.

The only book my mother wrote for (with several other colleagues), had her credited with her initials and her married surname (my father's), from whom she divorced later. Happy times! :D

Yes. I felt pretty sorry for her when she showed me the book. This was one of the reasons I urged my (now ex) wife not to take my surname when we married.

"But what if I divorce you!?"

I'm sure you had more tact than that lol, but I can see some reasons around that choice being touchy subjects.

[–] Dmian@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

"I have no right to make you lose your identity. You should always be you, regardless of your married status". That was my argument.

There's no shame it being in the et al. Hell, most authors are 'et al.'!

Et tu, et al?

There are no rules preventing you from changing your name to et al.
