I saw that. I'm just really, really glad I didn't have to do that...

I thought every single doctoral thesis is too big to make a tight little 3 minute song about. That's the genius. Taking the new synthesis to a teachable level for the non initiated means that the future doctor is forced to know it so well that they can actually simplify it and make it....fun. It's got to be the hardest thing ever and it still might not even work. That's a true challenge. I want to see the other submissions. I think it would be a great way to learn.

If they can it might be a real breakthrough thesis, like, "I proved conjecture X!".

But most sit in a pretty esoteric context so getting that all set up is where the fail starts.

The idea for any dissertation is that you should be able to do an elevator pitch for your research, so this is a creative way to do it. My elevator pitch is old and rusty now, but it was about studying how people struggle to create identity online. I used student portfolios as an example, but I should have used you jokers . I thought about it...

Good to see this pop back up, I've been working hard on it. Finally got "biogeochemistry" to rhyme with "UHF telemetry" but am stuck on ?15N. Was thinking about just shouting it out repetitively, kinda like the rap scene in "Sorry to Bother You". Plagiarism or respectful borrowing from genius. Would be included in the citations of course. And, yes, 15 should be superscripted but not possible in the forum software? Heck, can't even get line breaks.... AND the question mark should be a lowercase delta. What?!? Software doesn't even recognize ASCII? What's become of this world?

You could try the 15 as a high note to indicate a superscript, maybe? Ask TeeBird - he's better at this sort of thing than I am. This is way beyond my normal dissertation supervision LOL.
