Soon after 9/11, I posted here that I hoped they’d break ground on the new buildings at Ground Zero before I left New York City and/or finished the PhD. Well, they got one out of two at least. Via the WTC Progress twitter feed and Buzzfeed, breathtaking views from atop the new World Trade Center. Great light in this one — It looks like a matte painting out of King Kong.
Kevin, thank you for the photo and the link to just-as-amazing others. I’m puzzled by your remark. You left NYC some years ago and finished your Ph.D. not all that long after. Or am I mistaken? Sorry for my obtuseness.
No, I actually haven’t defended yet — I defend this coming fall.
How wonderful that you have persevered. It can’t have been easy while working full-time as well. Congratulations on finishing the dissertation.
