Woohoo! Yay! Big congratulations Bill!! Very happy for you! 🎉👏

Years ago while I was weighing the offer of a faculty job here a very senior British scientist in my field sniffily told me “They’ll never give you tenure” But that turned out to be one of their less good predictions, and I am now not only a full professor - but with tenure
