alikiI'm always envious that my sister, also a Ph.D. student in the biological sciences, makes $10,000 more a year than I do. It never seemed fair, even accounting for the cost of living being higher in NYC.
Till today. When I realized that her tentative dissertation thesis title sounds WAY cooler to any grant institution handing out money than mine does.
My title is: Ecological role of the Mullica River-Great Bay Estuary in the life history of striped bass, Morone saxatilis.
Her title is: Molecular Strategy of HCMV US2-mediated MHC class I Destruction.
You see? I sound like some Jacques Cousteau sipping wine and enjoying the marine environment, while she's off saving the world by curing cancer or something.
