hey all you cool cats and kittens....

I just successfully defended my dissertation at Nebraska (via zoom of course), and I'm now Dr. Pancho!

 

I will be drinking the rest of the day, which has actually will be just like a normal Tuesday since quarantine. 

I like you Dr. Pancho, but Jesus...

Congratulations! 

Nowledge! 

(congrats man)

out of curiosity, did you find it easier or harder to defend it via zoom instead of in person?  I know you don't have a baseline from which to judge, but obviously you were preparing for an in-person defense for the better part of a year.

Did you choose Nebraska because it was easier to win like their football team did when they left the big12?   Jk jk. Congrats bro 

 

also fuck Nebraska

So from here on out, anyone who disagrees with your Texas basketball opinions is legally wrong, correct?

Congrats, but all the same I’m not sure I want someone doing my doctoring who attended on a county scholarship.  

I’m sorry Lefty did you wrong all those years ago but I’m glad you got through it. Congrats!  

Had a patient once who put doctor on his health forms. After calling him doctor for awhile, someone in the office asked him what type of doctor he was. He said, "bulldozers".  If I was a thinkin' man, I would have asked him about hydraulics. Congrats, Pancho. When you some time, I'll PM you my question on hydraulics.

I got excepted to grad school, so this hits close to home. I mean, beside the fact that I didn't go, much less get a degree. But you know, I thought a lot about it, applied and was accepted soooo.. same, same.

Grats Pancho.

Excepted sounds correct

It's nice to have something to celebrate.  Well done, Doctor!

Congrats Doc.

Can you write me a few scrips please?  I'll send you a list.

You must have really been an exceptional candidate, or else they would not have made such an exception.

Much respect, Pancho. Writing and defending that dissertation must've been a tremendous challenge given your handicap (blind).

Seriously, job well done and all, but I ain't ever calling you doctor.

Do you do telemedicine? I've got this thing down south I need somebody to look at.

I mean, other than your mom.

The dissertation defense is more of a celebration about crossing the finish line. You have presentation open to the public including Q&A, then the committee asks everyone to leave and they may have something to say, and then they ask you to step out for them to decide. They will invite you back after a few minutes and your advisor steps forward to shake your hand and says, "Dr. Pancho, congratulations!". 

The actual defense is more like a semester long effort with multiple drafts of dissertation based on each committee member's feedback. There will invariably be questions about why didn't you extend this work or try this approach, even though they are all aware of what you have done and published the past couple of years. You have registered to graduate, told everyone that you are graduating, but are sweating to it out to get the committee to sign off on the final document so that you can send that darn thing to the printers. 

TL, DR: Pancho most likely did all the work over the semester and the Zoom was just the other doctors welcoming him to the club.

 

I was going to "like" your post but you were sitting on 69 and I didn't want to ruin that for you.

Awesome, congrats!!
