My Daughter successfully defended her dissertation today with a unanimous decision for her Ph.D in Biology.
She insists I call her Dr. from now on.

Wow, congratulations to both of you! Since there's now a doctor in the family, you should in return suggest she pay for all those upcoming celebratory dinners out.
Congratulations Beamhead, that's awesome! Hopefully the doctor is also a RWE. It's good to have a rudder, and know where you're going.

Congrats! I suspect that a certain two-year-old up here will do something like that in about twenty years.
...Are you going to tell her that you told your flashlight friends about it?

Working on a MBA myself, which is seriously infringing on my free time (and MBA's aren't so research-intensive as other master's degrees). A doctorate degree, on the other hand, is a heck of a commitment.
Congratulations to your daughter on her accomplishment and to you for what was doubtlessly a great deal of support.

Seriously!!! I'm just wrapping up my BSCJ after 3 years and I'm starting to get a bit panicky about what I'm going to do with myself when I'm done! I'm not sure I'll know how to do "normal" things anymore!! ... or manage a schedule that doesn't include 6 papers a week! The school asked me if I wanted to go on into the Master's program - I laughed and replied "Not bloody likely!!"... :eeksign:
Congrats Beam... well done! "Dr. Daughter" - has a good ring...

I had 6 months of downtime between graduating with my bachelors' and enrolling in grad school and it was indeed an unexpected challenge at first... wish I could say I did something useful with it, but I quickly learned to slack again.
