PHD Comics: Fading
I'm really proud of the work that Music Director Melanie Guittet did in putting the soundtrack together for the PHD Movie. Not only was she a grad student in Nanotechnology (!) at the time, but she managed to find great musicians and bands in and around campus to contribute and she worked with them to fit the music to the movie. The movie would not be nearly as impactful or soulful without such rocking music. Thanks also to composer Eric Santiestevan (who once upon a time worked as a lab manager) and everyone who contributed. THE PHD MOVIE IS COMING!

PHD Comics: The Mountain Top
'It was almost as good as HTML5' Sexual incentives for students with high grades include everything from full 'introductory intercourse' with a kind, pretty member of the opposite gender in a meaningful context with mood lighting to mutual masturbation with an ageing lab technician. Tom Logan, deputy bursar at Roehampton University, said: "Universities have finally cottoned onto the fact that very bright teenagers are often socially and sexually inept, and are likely to still be wearing 'the V-neck jumper' when they leave school. "Offering free sex should prove especially useful in recruiting gifted engineering students, 49% of whom currently die as virgins." AAB science student Stephen Malley accepted a place at the University of Polytechnic on the basis that he would get a 12 minute sexual experience with a sober female.

the scientists surrounded the gastropods with dough to make little snail pellets which ensured the experimental ducks would swallow the invertebrates The ability to whack prey from a distance gives sawfishes an advantage over predators that have to get their mouths over something before nailing it chasing down and wrestling a wildebeest to the ground for a minute or two each day, can give you the same fitness benefit as doing an hour or so of moderate exercise It took me a couple of months to make peace with this idea that I was going to take somebody’s brain or an animal’s brain and turn it into soup
