AT THE CONVERGENCE OF EVOLUTION AND GENETICS
About evolgen
We talk about molecular population and evolutionary GENETICS and GENOMICS. You know, the caliper measurement of a gene's evolvability in moles.
Eschewing obfuscation ever since Morgan.

Congratulations.
With your new god-like powers, how do you plan to remain grounded?

Erm, I've forgotten the secret handshake (it's been a while), but congratulations anyway!

Congratulations! Now you can get the good tables at restaurants -- reservation for Dr. ___

Well done. Tell us about the experience.

Congrats -- now where? A postdoc somewhere?

Congratulations!

When I finished my dissertation defense, my committe, individually, addressed me as Doctor, shook my hand, and took me out to lunch. I was touched and impressed.
Back a year later, talking with one of my grad school colleagues, he made the comment, "Well, I see that getting the PhD didn't turn you into a butterfly. I guess it turns the world into a butterfly."

Bravo. I'll buy you a beer in Barcelona and compare notes on the handshake.
Posted by: John Logsdon | May 14, 2008 7:10 PM
Sorry, I neglected to offer congratulations. I hope you will, at an appropriate time, become like me, an Emeritus Professor. Life is good!
Posted by: Jim Thomerson | May 14, 2008 7:12 PM
Congratulations! Quite an accomplishment.
Posted by: Jason Rosenhouse | May 14, 2008 7:35 PM
Way to go, motherfucker! w00t!!!
Posted by: PhysioProf | May 14, 2008 7:38 PM
Whatever you do, don't get a postdoc. It's a bottomless pit of despair!
Or maybe that's just me. Anyway, welcome to the club.

Congratulations!
Welcome to the tower, make sure you don't slip on the steps.
Posted by: Chad Orzel | May 14, 2008 7:54 PM
Yes, many congratulations.
When he became Lord George Byron at the age of 11 or so, the budding poet told his mother that it was strange but he didn't feel any different. It's like that.

Congrats! Now you get to rela..err, nevermind.

I hear the Cabal is sending men over to initiate into the Higher Mysteries. And give the free toaster. They are out of coffee cups.
Congrats on a job well done, or rather on a job that will need to be well done in your future. Ah, congrats to both.
