Daniel Jackson: Why would someone with two PhD's become a teamster?
Samantha Carter: I don't know. More money, I guess

hehehehehe

I'm generally not a user of smileys, but we'll put that on hold for the time being. This deserves it!

CONGRATS, DUDE!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations, but don't they teach superstition in school anymore? Let people know on the 24th because there's a minimum of five people who can take shots at you and who knows which one or more of them might be having a bad day on the 23rd.

You'll know, but for those that don't, one strain of B. subtilis is marketed as Serenade, a biological fungicide. It's the final disease spray I use on my fruit trees in the spring and the idea is that it colonizes plants and prevents bad microbes from becoming established. It's a bacterial workhorse and exploited for all kinds of other things too, such as PhD research.

Good luck and what's the next step for you? I hope my daughter goes into microbiology or biochemsitry, but I know that if she realizes that, she'll decide to be a business major.

[Ant]

why is it mostly official, looks 100% official to me, so congrats!

 

[Pyro]

Thanks all for the support It really is appreciated.

@ Bruce, I am already sort of at the next step. Been at my new job since the beginning of the month, this was just the soonest I could get all of my committee together in one place at one time. I am now at Ga Tech doing systems biology. It is still microbial genetics but on a larger scale than the 150 bases I have been focused on for the past 6 years.

@ Joe, PDF of my thesis? Dunno if they will be making that but if you want something to read try accessing this:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/...ez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum

Or, if you are really really bored and have time to kill I can forward you the word file of my thesis once it has been through the school system.

@ Ant, it is only mostly official because there is still all the bureaucratic paperwork to finish off. I swear there are like 3 kg of the stuff...

Thanks again to everyone

how positively pompous.


dude that's awesome. I'm just glad to see where you ended up. Maybe I'll stop by for some kind of alumni something or other. Perhaps if my fraternity ever got a house...
