Yesterday (18th July) was graduation day. How fetching I look in my splendid robes, no? Truly, it was a great day to be standing around in clothes like this, given the 34 degree C temperatures. There are other photos, but I won't post them here. Think 'When newly graduated doctoral candidates attack' and 'Naish: super-doctor!'. Right, back to the leptocleidine pliosaurs.
For the latest news on Tetrapod Zoology do go here.
Congratulations Darren! Impressive robes-- not much like them on this side of the pond, save those of some of the professors at Odious and Peculiar's alma mater.
ReplyDeleteYAY! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Darren. Not much cooler than a doctorate in dinosaurs.
ReplyDeleteOh, and the robes (and hat) are lovely. I like things that harmlessly carry on traditions that go back to the middle ages.
That's very colourful outfit!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Dr. Naish!!! I sure hope you get to keep the threads. If the paleontology thing ever gets old, you can always tour with Rick Wakeman.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all the effort to get your BIG DAY celebration. It's always one for The books to to Graduate!
ReplyDeleteHip-Hip-Hooray for YOU!
