The defense consisted of two parts. First Nick took about an hour to present his research and results. The presentation was public, so I was able to go watch! Then he was whisked away into a different room where he had to respond to a variety of questions on the subject of his dissertation from the examination committee. He emerged almost 2 hours later tired, but happy--the examination went well, and now he is done! The lab prepared a few snacks, champagne was served, and Nick's professor made a toast. Later Nick and I went out to dinner to celebrate.
Hooray! Of course, not surprised to see he passed--but good to hear anyway!
