Ode to DoctorIt

I did this triptych a long time ago when I was bored at the office. But DoctorIt's avatar has been reminding me of it so much that I'd go crazy unless I posted it somewhere he'd see it....

Maybe to make this thread fit the forum, I can challenge other folks to post an image in honour of DoctorIt?

    Wow, congratulations. That's a big day! What is your thesis title?

    Just thinking about it brings back blurry memories of my defense. It was a funny time because I was living in two worlds with a foot in each, but the aftermath was bathed in lots of beer. A toast!

    Holy smokes, what a thesis!

    I'll bet you'd get a kick out of seeing some shear structures in rock outcrops, if you haven't already. Boudinaging is pretty neat. There are probably a lot of similarities between fluids and plastically-deformed rock. Minerals can even grow and change during deformation, which is pretty cool.

    I'm curious why there's an iBook on the table. Do engineers use iBooks?

    bummer, that's like the worst photo in that gallery too! It was shot by my friend on super high ISO and we really had to push it just so you could read the title. umph.gif

    congrats, but don't let it go to your headmwink.gif I remember a story my PhD advisor told me about just after he joined the faculty at the U of Chicago and went to his 1st official faculty function. He was all proud of his relatively new degree and checked off "Dr." for his title on the RSVP card. However, when he got to the function, he was surprised by all the faculty that were identified as Mr. or Mrs. Faculty, including the University President. It turned out that only "real" doctors (i.e., MDs) listed "Dr." as their title rolleyes1.gif

    so, from one "fake" to another, Woo Hoo ! Congrats and what a feeling to get it over and done with. wings.gif

    Well Done Sirrah!

    Now, what shall you do with that degree- stay in the halcyon grove of academia, or off to make thixotropes for filthy lucre?

    Way cool. Did you develop a nice non-dimensional relationship for your fluids that can be named "it" after you?
