Just Passed my Predoctoral Exam

I just took (and passed :D) my predoctoral exam this morning. Surprisingly, practicing my oral presentation last week was more stressful than taking the exam today. Fortunately, things went rather smoothly. The judges seemed rather pleased overall, and I passed. A big administrative burden just got lifted off my back, and I should now be able to focus a little more on my research. Whew!

The talk I gave was in French, but I am still making the slides available for those who might be interested (and able to read the romantic language).
