Super proud of Cid, my high school buddy, who defended his PhD thesis on 'The Pre-Roman Elements of The Sardinian Language'.

You can spot me looking very sly in the background, playing paranymph, as Dutch tradition requires.

Congratulations, Dr. Dickson! 🥳

It was a pleasure to work together, and we can’t wait to see more of Dr. Dickson’s scientific journey. Cheers! 🏆

Cover page of the dissertation: an image of chopped trees going down the river and into the water, with multiple “zoomed in” sections showing how driftwood and its effects are fundamental for life at sea. The text in the left corner reads the title of the thesis: “Sunken driftwood, A lost ecosystem”, and the name of the author below it: “Jon Dickson”.

A lecture room, seen from a seat in the audience. There is a black table with five professors in black robes and hats. One of them is standing and reading from a piece of paper. Seen on their backs are three young people in black suits, standing in front of the professors, listening to the speech. In the background is a monitor with two people joining on Zoom, the Beadle sitting in a chair, also wearing black robes and a hat, and a photographer. The TU Delft logo is projected on the wall.
