Hi all,

I would like to bring to the attention of this forum what happened to me recently in my lab that made me frustrated.
I have been a postdoc for nearly 2 years and I made a key observation for my research and I reported this observation in a lab meeting I had in front of the PI and the whole lab, but I took no pictures of my observation or showed no record of it. Although it was an important observation no one said much after that and with time I got busy with my other things.
After a few months, nealry a year later, another postdoc repeated what I did but he took photos and stuff, documented it and in the end got the credit for the discovery which I originally reported!
This is so frsutrating and It makes me sick. So far I kept quiet and have not spoken with my PI or the person that stole my idea/experimet fearing that its too late or they will fire me from the lab.
What should I do? Am i wright to be angry and this is wrong or maybe I was too passive in this whole situation ?
