Andy and Maia minutes after submitting his thesisAndy did it! After several weeks of non-stop work, including a 36 hour editing marathon at the very end, Andy finally got to turn in his thesis this evening. It weighs in at around 130 pages and he feels good about 117 of those. All kidding aside, it is a thesis that has been long in the works, and we are very proud of him! He defends it next Friday in front of a committee of Astro professors. While the hard part is over, he still has to develop a 45 minute presentation (which is open to the public for all you in Chicago) and prepare himself for the questions his committee may throw at him.
Right now, he's getting some well deserved sleep.

Andy has worked long and hard for this day. I am very proud of him.
Congrats bro-in law! I met with a student at a college fair yesterday who wants to get a PhD in Astronomy (most high school students don't know what a PhD is). I told her all about you!
