PhD Ponderings

Ponderings #18 - Making Grad Life Easier

Those of you who are old enough (or who are sufficient couch potatoes or who skip the actual Superbowl but watch every commercial) might remember an ad for some product called Phisoderm. I have no idea what it was but their slogan was, "Get your PhD, use phisoderm" (or something along those lines). Ah, if only it were that easy...

Well, now it is!

Here are some ads from the classifieds section of the "PhD Times." I've discovered that will help you get that PhD degree in no time. They'll also make all that time go by really fast!
