You can always change this.

During today’s interview with Henrik Hansson, I produced few bright ideas for which you can quote me (paraphrased, the original will be soon online, hope not):

R: “You go twenty kilometers away from Joensuu and there is nothing.” – when comparing North-Carelia with Africa.

H: “Is there any special characteristics a phd student must have?” R: “Let me think for a while…hm, no.”

R: “If I don’t hear anything from a student in one week, I start to be afraid he might be sick!”

H: “How did you select the topic of your thesis?” R: “Well, we were building a usability lab, that’s how it happened.”

For the opponent and for the wholeness of the defense, it is important to show that the opponent read the whole thesis carefully. It is then a good idea that the candidate leaves at least one obvious typo in the manuscript.
