I have some minor revisions to make, but I have passed!

Was a pretty stressful morning, between last minute slide edits and practicing.

Talk was about 50 minutes to an hour. After, the committee asked questions for about another hour. Wasn't too bad.

Thanks, I have a postdoc position lined up, start date in early August. Not quite a real job, but certainly pays better than my current gig. Plus, I get to shoot lazers into the brains of mice, so, you know, dream job.

Yeah, one of the reasons I'm making a bit of a shift in my field of study for postdoc is just that.

Haha, I think the novelty of the title has already worn off. Then again, mostly it's been used facetiously in the past couple of days as "Dr. [First name].

It had its up and downs. Overall, absolutely. Certainly things were much harder coming from an underfunded lab, but I think it drove me to do different things, which ended up being beneficial.

I have yet to correct someone who calls me Mr. instead of Dr. It just seems like a jerk thing to do. I've had other people correct those that didn't use my title, but I just can't get over doing it myself.

Now if I was in a room full of Drs. and one decided to call me Mr., then I would gladly correct them. I can see this happening in the not-too-distant future, since I am a staff member working at a university with a bunch of faculty that see the staff as "beneath them".

But for your regular person I run into that calls me Mr., they don't care what my title is, lol.

Yeah, the title is silly. But there's a fair amount of discussion about the harm in men dismissing titles when women often need them to be taken seriously, and often not even then. So I don't take them seriously, but I also try not to be explicitly dismissive of it.

Oh, for sure. I will call people by their title every time if I know it. I just don't seem to care as much if they don't say it to me in most situations.

Though I will put the title if a webform or application gives me the option, like on credit card apps or website registrations.

One time a website had an option to put an academic title, and then would send me form emails addressed to "Mr. PhD"

The one comfort I have is that all those spam emails I get will actually be congruent with my actual title! haha.

Dissertation defense is supposed to be tough.

It's why I consider a PhD to be a true doctorate and an MD to be a poser

So who now are all the Drs on CE now? I have them all tagged as Dr. when I come across them but I none seem to come to mind at the moment. EDIT: There's MacadamiaNut, at least.
