I have to thank you, and more specifically this your internet presence, for inspiring me towards becoming a scholar in my field. You're a great example!Nichimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359298496725231902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571309.post-55358463594772870102008-06-09T19:41:00.000-04:002008-06-09T19:41:00.000-04:00Congratulations from me too, this is the ultimate ...Congratulations from me too, this is the ultimate birthday present, not a bloody Ring of Power! You still couldn't beat Tolkien though, full professor in Leeds at 32. But I'm not saying this to spoil the fun, really; this is a great achievement, and if I took my academic career in any way seriously, I'd probably take you as a sort of model (although where I live you'd have to get a Nobel prize to become full professor before you're 50). This way I'm only happy for you and send congratulations again.BWGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10458562523418278408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571309.post-90154716010349946272008-05-13T15:10:00.000-04:002008-05-13T15:10:00.000-04:00Congratulations Mike!

I'm pretty sure they won't let me go up next year! :) At any rate, the point is, your way ahead of those of us who really took awhile to figure out what the heck they were doing!<BR/><BR/>And the only PhDs I know who got them in their 20s were all about 27 years old. I think you'd have to do the PhD at Oxford or Cambridge to make it by 25. Or else be the PhD equivalent of Doogie Howser.Dr. Viragohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960384082670286328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571309.post-31329788312272343072008-05-03T04:12:00.000-04:002008-05-03T04:12:00.000-04:00John Pryor often announces that he last taught thi...John Pryor often announces that he last taught this course/ wrote his book/ other important milestone in the year I was born. He must've been a busy man that year. I like pointing out this fact as often as he mentions it.<BR/><BR/>I've never managed to get him to tell me to fuck myself, though.
