What's the thesis topic?

The folding of Thorn Displays in Monroe? Doesn't make sense to me

[–] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Excellent! You can be proud of your accomplishment. Make sure to connect with loved ones and to find a time-consuming hobby in order to avoid the post-thesis depression.

Save the Wooly Mammoth before it's too late!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

the columbian mammoth is the last of the mammoths to die out about 13kyears ago, very recent, by insular dwarfism in channel islands of CALIFORNIA. fun fact mammoths are more related asian elephants than african bush elephants/forest. ELEPHAS vs loxodon.

This is a precursor to defending your thesis, right? I don't mean to discourage, I've just been away from academia for a few too many years and my memory is getting rusty on the order of operations.

Regardless, it's a massive milestone and I commend your commitment to humanity's knowledge in the strongest possible terms.

In most places the defense is kind of just a formality. It's an important part of the ritual and the process, it's important to present your work, but nobody should be submitting unless they're definitely going to pass the defense, or else their supervisor has really failed them

[–] RacerX@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Congrats! Best of luck on whatever the next step is.

[–] finitebanjo@piefed.world 18 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Good luck I hope its well received and contains no em dashes.

PhD-level memes from Dr. Smartypants!
