All students (and professors) should see this too - I don't know whether it is a crystallography paper that is under consideration, but it shows the possible ultimate reward for your hard work.

P.S. German speakers will have to turn the sound right down to appreciate the English subtitles.

It captures the story of life and science in a crystallography lab, that of Dr. Larry Shapiro at Columbia University, and follows the graduate students journey of fortune and misfortune that crystallographers know so well. Not to sound too sappy about it, but it is almost like a "coming of age" story for graduate students....
