Well, it finally happened -
I defended my dissertation today!
Now, it's fossil boy, PhD.
Whew....

 

Congratulations!

 

paleontology I assume?

congrats, doc

 

huh? Some of us (wel I think just me) are still in highschool

 

Congrats, Dr. Fossil (or is it Dr. Boy?)

 

Hey thanks guys. And no, it's still fossil boy - I am not into unnecessary, pompous titles.... I've always maintained a first-name basis with everyone and will continue to do so.
My only reason for going this far: I enjoy what I do, and I eek out modest income merely by pondering the earth and stimulating others to do likewise. How could any job possibly be better?

And yes - paleo all the way! Those critters in the rocks have a lovely story to tell!

 

heard about that new carnivore dino they discovered in India? any takes on it?

 

wee...i am in the process of moving in...its fun...begin classes on monday

 

by now i thought they would've dug up everything. I'm surprised theres still **** left.
