1. I became a Doctor, successfully defending my dissertation: “Studies in Theoretical Evolutionary Genetics.” As soon as I make some changes to the dissertation, I am done. Come August graduation, I’ll be a Triple Dawg.
2. We’ve come to an agreement to buy a townhouse in Raleigh. It looks like I will be moving mid July.


Congratulations Dr.Cartwright!!!! You deserve a drink or two or three tonight…
And when you come to Raleigh, please give me a holler. Let’s have a beer.
Perhaps once day soon you’ll join SEED scienceblogs.com and make the dominant North Carolina mafia there even more dominant!
A very, very big congratulations! I’m a frequent reader but rare commenter on PT. I know how it feels - I just defended in December. You’ve got the union card now.
Good luck in Raleigh. If you’re headed there for a postdoc, I’m sure you’ll love it - postdoc life is great.
Congratulations, Dr. Reed!
Congratulations, Dr. Reed!
oops! consider that not so much a double-post, as a double congratulations :)…
Congratulations Dr. Reed!
I moved to Raleigh (well, Apex) from California, and ignoring the humidity, it’s a good place to be.
there’s a lot of great opportunities for you here, and we need all the evolutionists we can get.
We’ve come to an agreement
and who is this we?
Congratulations on both counts.
Congrats.
Went to NC State and had family in Raligh all my life. Good place.
Congrats Dr Reed!!! How exciting!!
Are you gonna come back for the graduation ceremony in August??
Can’t wait to see the new townhouse!!!
Too bad you live in a dry state.
Triple Dawg? Good name for an amber lager.
Yes, I will be at graduation.
Dry state? What are you talking about?
