Please pray for me tomorrow and Thursday. I will present a workshop at the Mid-Winter Convocation at Luther Seminary both days. This workshop is based on the Deep in the Burbs Project I did last year for the dissertation. This will be my first workshop in this new arena. butterflies…
Here is the Prezi.
Don’t forget to start out with a joke:
In a forest a fox bumps into a little rabbit, and says, “Hi,
junior, what are you up to?”
“I’m writing a dissertation on how rabbits eat foxes,” said
the rabbit.
“Come now, friend rabbit, you know that’s impossible!”
“Well, follow me and I’ll show you.” They both go into the
rabbit’s dwelling and after a while the rabbit emerges with a
satisfied expression on his face.
Comes along a wolf. “Hello, what are we doing these days?”
“I’m writing the second chapter of my thesis, on how rabbits
devour wolves.”
“Are you crazy? Where is your academic honesty?”
“Come with me and I’ll show you.” As before, the rabbit comes
out with a satisfied look on his face and a diploma in his paw.
Finally, the camera pans into the rabbit’s cave and, as everybody
should have guessed by now, we see a mean-looking, huge lion sitting
next to some bloody and furry remnants of the wolf and the fox.
The moral: It’s not the contents of your thesis that are important —
it’s your PhD advisor that really counts.
Always!
