http://www.people.virginia.edu/~mdz4c/blog Because there aren't enough insane, semi-literate rants on the Internet already... en Copyright 2005 by Matthew Zimmerman blosxom simplerss20 (modified) 180 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss /personal Thu, 06 Sep 2007 14:05:00 EST <p>In case you may be concerned that I have fallen off the face of the earth, I've been working on my Ph.D. dissertation. But I am emerging from my cocoon now, as yesterday I turned in my dissertation to my committee. (Yes, this has been a long time in coming-- cough, cough, nine years, cough...)</p> <p>My defense is scheduled for Tuesday, September 18, 2007 at 1:00 PM. I will give an hour-long public presentation of my research, then my advisor and the four other faculty on my committee will shepherd everyone else out of the room for a closed-door oral examination. If all goes well, they will sign my cover page and I will be a doctor. (No, not that kind of doctor.)</p> <p>The presentation is open to the public (if you are in Charlottesville, it will be held in the large conference room on the fourth floor of Jordan Hall) but I suspect that unless you're a structural biologist, you would find it pretty dull. There will be some sort of celebration to take place that week, so stay tuned.</p> http://www.people.virginia.edu/~mdz4c/blog/2007/09/06/#dissertation http://www.people.virginia.edu/~mdz4c/blog/2007/09/06/#dissertation
