Thesis stats

Posted on May 12th, 2009 at 16:05 — Filed under Science: Astronomy, Weblog/Homepage

The end of my four-year PhD contract is approaching rapidly. I hope to submit my thesis to the printer at the end of August and defend it in the second half of October. As these dates are getting closer, I thought it’d be nice to maintain some sort of progress indicator on my website. So, as of today, “thesis stats” are visible at the top of the menu bar. Yesterday was the first time I compiled all available stuff into one PDF file. Spread across 126 pages are some front matter, a table of contents, three science chapters, a list of references, and a list of my own publications. Still missing are the figures in these three chapters, two additional science chapters, an introduction, a Dutch summary, and some minor other things. It looks like the final product will be around 200 pages. I wonder who’s gonna read all of that…
