Remember when I was writing my thesis? I don’t really, but I have pictures of it.
Oh, right. It’s all starting to come back…
Haha!! That happened every time. Those are words, stupid Word.
I was vaguely reminded of my thesis when I got an e-mail yesterday, telling me that the entire thing is now available online . It’s under a Creative Commons license, so you can read it out loud to sleepless children or re-enact the whole thing on YouTube, as long as you credit me. This is even the version with the correct table numbers! (As opposed to the final print version…) If nothing else, you can read the acknowledgements. Don’t pretend you don’t read the acknowledgements (and nothing else) in everyone’s theses.
I’ve always thought it was funny how Word doesn’t recognize “transfection.” Is there a more common word in cellular biology?
Yay- it’s out there and beyond a musty library (I love musty libraries but it’s great that it’s out there digitally too)! Yes, word is annoying in this respect (I think I posted somewhere else that it offers me Rabbi Lall as a correction to my name, but as we’re in the midst of the high holidays I’ll offer this info again). You can teach word, but it’s a student with a poor learning curve….
On my previous laptop I taught Word most of these words, but then I got a new one, and I just couldn’t be bothered.
I admit it; acknowledgements.
It’s usually the only thing I read in a thesis.
