LET'S CELEBRATE!

My PI organized a party to celebrate!. So all the family got together. The food was great! She is a great cook!














Dr. Reeves and I. He is the best!


EL CHOLO CELEBRATION!

21st of April of 2006. The Big Day. MY THESIS DEFENSE!

Everything went great...Lot's of questions, but good questions. I can not believe it. I finished my PhD in Oral biology. Now I am Dr, Dr!
Here with my Committee members ( where is Dr. Nishimura?). They were so great with me all this hard time. THEY ARE SUPER!


My last day as a Ph.D student.

A day before my thesis defense.Thesis ready...presentation ready... I am ready I think..

Writing my PhD thesis dissertation

Dr. Jose Maximliano... Checking the grammar of my manuscript

He is a bilingual cat.

Every night he helped me...

He tried his best...Let's check another page... But his eyes were getting tired and tired...

Again, he tried...

But was too much!

Until he fell asleep. Tumor immunology was too exhausting for him.


Writing a PhD Thesis... Lack of sleep, to much to read, to much to think... Re-check and re-check your results..., writing the discussion to much fun after 1 or 2 tequilas... (Avina...Just kiddin!). Exciting and frustrating, but is great to put together your years of work.
I needed a nap. Some consideration for a poor and starving Ph.D student.
Almost ready!

Please, check the organization... And cleanness...
I'm sorry... I am writing my thesis for God's sake!

Dr. Paranjpe in Action!

Dr. Avina Paranjpe (a.k.a queen of dental materials) performing rat tooth extractions. WOW!

Avina's 30th Birthday!






My sister had her birthday part with Dr. Nishimura. Was a lot of fun, we had this great BBQ that Roland brought.
