She's just successfully defended her thesis to her committee (15 min grilling post presentation, it looked like) so now as soon as they approve of the formatting for her dissertation & get the paperwork process she'd have graduated. Before she left for the day (her family's in town) she turned to me and said "It's possible! You can do it!" and given that this is her 8th year (she has 3? 4? different strains of mice she had to establish herself) this is encouraging, as I only so far have 1 strain of mice that's already made.
But she's a friend and we share a bay and commiserate over the PI so this is a lot of excitement, as vicarious as it is. I feel a bit like jumping up and down because omg! She's DONE!
