Result

So the result is (hopefully) only a slight delay in defending. Personally I’d love to go into labor during it. That would show ‘em.
It seems that my advisor thinks that his paper has completely refuted the generally accepted beliefs about this process, and so now the burden of proof has changed and all further papers must do similar experiments to PROVE this is going on. I disagree, but am doing the experiments to make him happy. I think they are flawed experiments, and so will most likely be revising my dissertation to say things that I don’t really believe, but hey if it will get me out of here I’ll do it.
Academia in action, folks. It’s not about the science, it’s about who has the most power and who can be the most stubborn and arrogant.
