Congratulations to Avi who flowed through his qualifying exam today and is o-fish–ally a PhD candidate! Dam-fine work! He has reached a new stage in his PhD life cycle, proving that any-fin is possible! He looked in the mirror this morning, and said, “Avi, don’t trout yourself, you won’t be schooled.” With a head of steel, he waded through his committee’s tough questions, provided a stream of brilliant answers that were up to parr, and didn’t fall into any PIT (tags)–avi(ously) passing with fly (fish)ing colors. So now on Avi’s behalf, we’re fishing for compliments. Salmon had to say it!
We are so proud of you, Avi! Congratulations!
