The Thesis

It’s done…

on Thursday last week, 350 copies of the Thesis of Anna have arrived here in Maastricht for distribution.
several years of work for Anna and lots of stress for me finally paid off as we hold fresh copies of “The Very Lo-Density Lipoprotein-Triaglycerol Pathway and the Metabolic Heterogeneity in Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia” in our hands.

Today we went to deliver them to the participating people, professors, colleagues of Anna, to the University and the libraries of the country.
On November 3rd, Anna will have to defend it and then she’ll be a pround Ph.D. in Medicine. Actually I think I am more proud than her, sometimes but anyway ;)

A lot of work comes to an end and finally we will be able to do other things in the weekend than proofreading and fighting with Microsoft Word.
If anyone ever asks me how to write a scientific paper I will have only one advice: Don’t ever think about using Word for it!
It might look nice but it’s inconsistent as hell and these auto-format/ auto-correct/ auto-sex-me-up-functions drive you crazy if you try to do a decent layout of a paper or a thesis.

For reasons of completeness, here the link to the thesis:
