All opinions are mine alone. #IDSimplyPure #CollectiveBias So my time as a doctoral candidate is winding down and it looks like I may be getting those magical letters at the end of my name as early as this summer. In preparation, I’ve been doing a lot of writing so that when I go before my thesis committee, and they inquire about papers I say “Tada” do a little jig and place these carefully crafted documents in front of them. They’ll be so awed my drive and willingness to take…
