I am a doctor now! (well, sort of)

OMG! Gasp! I don't know you anymore. :drama:

lol...wow, major conflict here. there used to be another doctor (pediatrician) here Henry (hdrygas) who tragically passed away too young who was a OSU grad. he lived a few miles from me and we used to compare mods and mileage stats and argue about which college had the better traditions. now i never went to U-M but did have exclusive use of season tickets when in high school, so have done many many tailgate parties there.

and Mich... remember you would never be what you are now, if not for what you gained on the way there... which means that U-M is much more significant in your life right??

 

Do you know how to find A^2 from Columbus? Go west until you smell it, then north until you step in it. That's what I was told when I used to live in Columbus.

Hi Michgal,
just happened to come across this thread on PC today. Congrats on your graduation. I defended my PhD thesis in Structural Biology and Biochemistry last year (Oct 2009) and am presently doing my post-doc. Reading your comment that your thesis advisor said that you drive a Prius reminded me of a funny incident at the time of my thesis defense. On the night before my defense I had driven down to the local airport to pick up my external examiner and drop him off at his hotel. When he got into my car (Black Prius '06) he commented that he himself had gotten a Prius just 2 weeks earlier, and definitely loved the car. And we really hit it off after that. He was impressed with my thesis, but we ended up in a good discussion about the Prius and other gadgets on the ride to his hotel. My thesis advisor has an old 98' Subaru outback, with the paint chipping off in places. The next morning, my thesis advisor stopped by his hotel in his car to pick up my external examiner for breakfast. And the first comment my examiner made when he stepped into my PI's car was... your graduate student has a much better ride than you do. We had a hearty laugh when my thesis advisor mentioned this to me that night after my defense.

Congratulations. Is biophysics something like this?

Double the above celebration as you're not the kind of doctor subject to the proposed brand of health reform.

 

When I go west I smell water. Likewise east or north. South is the only dry direction from here.
