After 6 years in graduate school, I finally defended my dissertation and earned those 3 letters I've wanted for so long: P.h. & D.
I look forward to putting the emotional and psychological roller coaster called "grad school" behind me and moving on into the professional world, which I hope will be more routinely stable.

So riding a roller coaster can potentially cause your lung to deflate like a balloon. Now that's a ride!
Forgive me, threadlians, but I just have to riff on this particular video.
One of the points I make repeatedly in teaching introductory mechanics (as I'm doing this term) is that absolutely every problem students encounter can, in principle, be solved using just Newton's Laws or, in the terminology used by Matter and Interactions, the Momentum Principle.
Huge, huge congratulations. I know how hard it is to make it through.
w00t!
Congratulations!!! Someday I will be there, too...
Congrats, Dr. Ventii! You sure got that profile updated fast.
Now you're on the quest for another three letters: J, O, & B.
Alas, all I can offer are Y, G, & G: You Go, Girl!
Congratulations! Good job!!!!
Are you looking to stay in Atlanta or are you mobile? I'll keep an eye out for suitable positions.

Congratulations, Dr. Ventii, on a job well done!!
Huzzah! I hope you're giving yourself a celebration appropriate to your accomplishments before you get too bogged down with, "OK, what next?"
Congrats Karen!

Congrats Karen!
Thank you all. I appreciate the support!
Congratulations, Dr. Ventii!
You did it!! You Piled Higher and Deeper! :)
I am not a regular reader, but it's always good to see someone who's trying to make a difference in the public's view of science to make a major accomplishment such as this. Congratulations, and may much happy writing and research follow in the years to come.
I echo Brian X. journalism abounds with poor reporting on science. I wish you the best.
Congrats Dr. Ventii! I'm so jealous though...one more year to go seems waaay to long!
Congratulations Dr. Ventii! (and on your paper too!) And btw, I love the blog, too!
Melanie Styers! WOW! Good to hear from you. Thanks for the congratulations and (while I'm at it) thanks for all your support and help during my early years in grad school-I appreciate it a lot. Please stay in touch. Take care.
