From time to time people (especially undergrads) ask me what it is that I ‘do’ as a postdoc. I usually tell them that I do exactly the same as before my PhD defense two years ago, but without the stress of having to finalize a thesis.
Next time, I’ll show them this comic from Piled Higher and Deeper artist Jorge Cham.
