Wow! Good for her!

But, I'm sure she would rather be called Dr. hippie.

Well done that woman!

Well, excellent!!

Oh that is so wonderful. Co gratulations dr. hippie!

In response to being asked "what's next?"

She just keeps going, and going, and going...

Wow! Max Planck Institute! That is sooo cool.

Go Dr hippitrekx!

Rockstar.

tell her to say "hi" to our neice, Sarah.

Thanks everyone!!! It feels totally surreal! I feel like it wasn't that long ago I was doing my high school science fairs and playing Spartacus on the board here!

After all the hard work, I find I'm not too sure how to be bored now. I was sitting at my desk this afternoon when it was over and before I went out to celebrate and just started editing my next publication because I didn't know what else to do!

I also was lucky enough to see the total eclipse on Monday and it was clear skies. SO AMAZING! I feel like my bucket list is pretty much done unless some aliens want to drop by and beam me up!

Since you are going to München, let's say "Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum PhD!"

Well there's always this:

Pffft, I knew Spartacus and you, doctor, are no Spartacus.

Wow, the Planck Institute? Well done.

But...but...wouldn't the Planck Institute be a place to get board?

Try learning to curse in Bavarian, who knows whe it will come in handy.

Wow, you will work so hard, but you will have so much fun doing it. Try to spend a weekend skiing at Wilder Kaiser while you're ther. You won't regret it!

BTW, did you know that as an employee in Germany, you get 24 days a year of paid leave (+public holidays) by law, but probably more like 30? Enjoy them!

How far will she be from you Arneb?

Other end of the country. Munich is Bavaria's capital and loks at the Alpine skyline, Potsdam' contiguous witv Berlin in thr North East.

All things are relative. 350 or so miles which isn't far in the Midwest but 7 or 8 other countries are nearer Berlin than Munich.

Edit to add: In practical terms hippie will be two hours flying time or less from pretty much all of Europe.
