Happy Pi Day!

It's a Pi-themed day today, so here's a math-themed comic 

(of sorts) for you to enjoy! Hopefully everyone out there

is able to celebrate this day with some delicious pie 

(and perhaps also with a friend or two).

Trying to Defend my Dissertation at the Last Possible Minute before Heading Back to Med School

The Blog of the UW MSTP will be taking a short break for the 

next couple weeks as the people in charge of the blog struggle to 

get things in order to graduate so that we don't end up trying

to defend our dissertations at the actual last possible minute

before heading back to med school. 

Updates will resume once at least one of us has wrapped up the whole

thesis defense process and all that other jazz.
