Monday Geology Picture: PhD Defense

Geology Word of the Week, graduate school, MIT, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 1 Minutes
At my post-defense party in the WHOI student center.

On Friday the 13th I successfully defended my PhD in Marine Geology in the MIT/WHOI Joint Program. For this week’s geology picture, here I am on Friday with my co-advisors Susan Humphris and Ken Sims at my post-defense party.

Everyone has to call me Dr. Evelyn now… at least for a few days. Then everyone can call me just plain old Evelyn again.

Once I recover from post-thesis exhaustion and finish up my revisions, you can expect the pace of blogging to pick up here slightly. I even plan to resurrect the Geology Word of the Week, so stay tuned!

  14. Glad there’s a boy in the mix :)I was going to have 2 showers, work and frneids/family–but I decided to invite my small department to my frneids/family shower because there aren’t that many people at work I want to attend my shower. And I’ve been to a few work showers that have just been plain awkward. My mom and boss think I should just deal with the awkwardness so I can get more things for the baby :)Right now my plan is to work until this baby pops, but I don’t know how I’m going to feel closer to the date. I can technically take 2 weeks off prior to my due date, but we’re only allowed 3 months max (paid or unpaid), so I want to save all my time for after she’s here.
