When will you be done?


I don’t think I’m alone in the rage and frustration that this small, simple, well-meaning question can elicit. Afterall, a small part of us knows that people ask us this because they genuinely have no idea what it means to write a thesis, pursue a PhD or do research in a way that amounts to anything. People care about us but many lack the context to understand what it is we actually do. To this day, my own family still asks what it is that I do and what it all means.

Plate Spinning Techniques

Have you ever tried to go vegan? I wouldn’t recommend it in this town. It’s surprisingly not that hard to do in Orlando.
