It is hard to believe, but my retirement PhD initiative continues to move forward. There are several new advancements. First and foremost is that my committee has been formed. It consists of two top-tier UNL hydrology assistant professors who got their PhD’s from North Carolina State University and Oklahoma State University, a UNL assistant professor of electrical engineering with a PhD from Princeton, a UNL associate professor of biology with a PhD from University of New Mexico, and a Texas A&M electrical engineering full professor with a PhD from Texas A&M. I feel very fortunate to have this committee. I am still hard at work on a journal article (second draft almost done) that we hope to publish before the end of the year. In addition, I have started laying the foundation for a second article similar, but more in depth and extensive than the first.

Christian hit a half century a couple of days ago. He got his PhD from a tier one university at 23 and now works at the pure research laboratory of an elite university on the East Coast. We are quite proud of him. It is a hard age, but he is navigating it well. In a few weeks I will be able to announce another accomplishment for him and for me. He is helping me with my retirement PhD effort and, believe it or not, with my day job.
