Why Abdel is a stud

Abdel Rawashdeh, my fav grad student at UMR, has changed his name. He is now DOCTOR Abdel!

Yessiree, Abdel has run the gauntlet and returned unscathed. He defended his thesis and won! Long live ABDEL!

Why am I telling you this? Abdel is a great guy, he's been an inspiration to me since we traveled to the University of Notre Dame Radiation Laboratory to do research in 2002. I'm thrilled that he has made it!

So in a few weeks he goes back to Jordan, his home. :-( That's too bad, But I'm excited about his future prospects. He's going to do great things...
