Mike Dunford was a graduate student in the Department of Zoology at the University of Hawaii, Manoa, where he studied evolution. Life as an army spouse has since moved him on to Pensacola, where he's currently trying to figure out what to do next. While he's doing that, he writes stuff here, although not usually in the third person. He's also a contributer to 
This weeks' Ask A Scienceblogger is a relatively simple one, which would explain why I'm getting to it so quickly. We're asked to take on the following question:
How is it that all the PIs (Tara, PZ, Orac et al.), various grad students, post-docs, etc. find time to fulfill their primary objectives (day jobs) and blog so prolifically?...It's simple. I'm a grad student. I'm supposed to procrastiate a lot. If you don't believe me, you're not reading the right comic strip.
Seriously, this is what I do instead of watching TV. And sometimes sleeping. But it does keep me marginally sane. On occasion.

Yes! PhD comics is hilarious for us grad student types. I get the distinct feeling that anyone who hasn't gone through it just won't understand, though.
