Defense

Jason Kuznicki on Sep 6th 2005 10:24 pm |

My husband says that you are all to call me “Dr. Kuznicki” from now on. Personally, I’ve never stood on ceremony, and “Jason” will continue to work just as well. Employers may call me whatever they like, as long as they call me.

    Felicitations!

  4. Chris Berez says:

    Congrats, Jason!

    How about if we strike a sort of balance between formality and informality and just call you ‘Doc’?

  5. Ralph Luker says:

    Congratulations, Dr. Kuznicki!

  6. Congratulations!

    A hearty congratulations to my friend, Dr. Jason Kuznicki, for successfully defending his dissertation!…

  7. Bob Davis says:

    Doctor, I have a pain in my side, can you take a look at it?

  8. Ed Brayton says:

    Doctor, I’ve been having these dreams…

    If Scott starts singing “Doctor, Doctor, give me the news, I’ve got a bad case of loving you”, you’ll be forgiven for slapping him to snap him out of it.

    Congratulations, Jason. A great accomplishment.

    The good thing about dissertations is that you’re usually forced to do them on an issue so obscure that few people have even heard of it, much less have the competence to question you on it. Reminds me of Ian Musgrave, one of the Panda’s Thumb contributors, who provided a bio for that page’s contributor’s list that said that he is currently studying a protein so obscure that only 4 other people believe it exists.

    Technically Sandefur and I could also be called “Dr.” since the “JD” degree stands for “Juris Doctor.” Given that we don’t have to defend dissertations JDs aren’t nearly as hard to get.

    Most JDs don’t go by “Dr.” (I know I don’t). Some do. I always considered that a little pretentious for a JD to do that. You shouldn’t call yourself that until you have earned your “SJD” which does require a dissertation.

    I always pictured you more as the Dr. Johnny Fever type, Mr. Rowe.

  11. Kris says:

    Let me be the, uh… 13th to congratulate you!

  12. Jonathan Rowe says:

    “I always pictured you more as the Dr. Johnny Fever type, Mr. Rowe.”

    LOL. He’s one of my idols.

    And let me not forget to say congrats to Dr. Kuznicki. Thank God that you escaped the land of “Ph.D., ABD.”

  13. Kris says:

    I, for one, want to read Dr. K’s scandalous dissertation when it’s ready.

  14. Chuck says:

    Dr. Kuznicki, congratulations.

  15. NancyP says:

    Dr. Kuznicki, congrats for your defense. Let us know what happens to your dissertation in terms of publication.

    Don’t worry about being asked to diagnose skin rashes at parties – I get asked that too, and I tell them, sure, let me biopsy it and I will oblige (I am a pathologist). End of free consultation.

    Contrats Dr. Jason!! :)

    It’s a difficult road and well deserving a bit of adulation!

    congrats.
