I have just finished my last JSD Forum yesterday. Five and a half years' journey has come towards the very last episode. For the coming half year or so, I will be single-mindedly dedicated to the wrapping up & rerewriting & finalizing my dissertation for the preparation of my defense. Thank you all!
Wish all of my mentors, colleagues, and other academic friends at NYU and elsewhere in the world a restful winter break and a joyful holiday season! Wish you and your families all the best in 2025! Wish myself a successful doctoral defense and a desirable postdoc job next year!
