Brian May doktorirao

BBC – 35 godina nakon početka pisanja svog rada, Brian May je doktorirao 23. kolovoza. Nakon trosatne obrane svog doktorata, izjavio je: “Možete me zvati doktor May!“. Na svojim stranicama je rekao samo: “I am celebrating!”.
Par dana kasnije, opisao je kako je obrana tekla:

Yes. It’s done, and after about 37 years, I am finally a doctor. The oral examination of my thesis, and of me, lasted about 3 hours, and then I retired with Prof Rowan-Robinson, for a few moments, for my two examiners to confer. After only a couple of minutes they called me back into the room and offered their hands in congratulations. Yes, my category was number 2. I understand pretty much nobody gets a 1st category – which is “This is perfect – here’s your PhD.”

Mine is “We like it. Make these adjustments, and it’s yours.”

The Categories after this say things like “Go write it up again”, or “Go and do some more research”, or “Why not have am MPhil instead?!”
… all the way down to number 8 – which is basically “Forget it !!!” (This is all paraphrase of course!)

So I am very happy. I celebrated at the Hard Rock Cafe with my family and my professors.

Brianu Mayu će doktorat biti službeno uručen slijedećeg proljeća.
