Incidentally Isaac Asimov, while still working towards his chemistry doctorate, wrote a short story in the style of a scientific thesis entitled 'The endochronic properties of resublimated thiotimoline'. He was fearful that it would influence his final interview for the doctorate by not taking chemistry seriously and asked his publisher to put it out under a pen name. Someone made a mistake and it went out under his own name. It was an immediate hit at his university and copies were posted everywhere on university noticeboards. At the final doctorate interview no mention was made of it until the final question - "Now Doctor Asimov - what can you tell us about the endochronic properties of resublimated thiotimoline?"
