    Reintroduction: Jofish, PhD

    Hello fellow hangers,

    Its been a while. I've been super busy wrapping up my graduate work and now I'm finally done (or Phinally Done as one bumper sticker I saw said). I defended my thesis a week ago (last Tuesday) and have had the strange pleasure of friends and family calling me "doctor" all week. Very odd. For those interested, my PhD is in Cellular and Molecular Biology.

    I'm now in the process of interviewing for postdoctoral positions. I'm not 100% sure where I'll end up, but the top two candidates right now are Chicago and Boston.

    I'll likely be very busy the next couple months, so I won't be on here much. Once I've settled into a new job, I hope that will change.

    Its been good to check in. Happy Hangin'!

    In defense of the amoeba: They have more brain cells than tenters? Was that the thesis?

    Congratulations on the Doc.
    My daughter is a dentist, and I find it strange when I'm at her office to hear the other people that work there call her Doctor Bargen.
