One of the best parts of being in academia is working with students. I just had the pleasure of serving on Mitchell Richmond's PhD committee. Mitchell did an in-depth research project on chemical topping in tobacco. After an exciting (well, for us, maybe not for Mitchell) 3-hour conversation about plant physiology, agronomics, economics, gene regulation, and many other topics, Mitchell Richmond is now Dr. Mitchell Richmond! (Well, he will be once the graduate school confers his degree.) Mitchell has already started a position with the Canadian Tobacco Research Foundation in southern Ontario. Congratulations to Dr. Richmond! PS to all future doctoral candidates--be sure to provide your committee with donuts, coffee, and snacks for a better defense experience :)
