An excerpt from The PHD Movie 2. Cecilia tries to schedule her thesis defense, and finds that getting four professors to agree on a time and date is like herding cats (if the cats had Ph.D.'s).
Nature Journal called the movie "astute, funny" and The New York Times claims, "Well, postdocs will find it funny". Watch the movie that perfectly captures life (or the lack thereof) in Academia.
