It is great to be back in Washington at TRB after three years of absence. I’m catching up with lots of people including fellow Canadians Meckkey El Sharnouby and Kevin Williams of Atlantic Industries.

Congrats Ranlin Qiu for your great defence of your @queens_civil MASc on Tuesday (work on pressure pipe liners crossing metal pipe deterioration). Thanks fellow supervisor @hoult_neil, examiners @AbdelaalFady & @joshuaewoods and chair @BrachmanRichard.
Enjoy it while lasts. As a Lecturer in Oz I was offered the new first year package for years when I went to do my part in the annual enrolment process for undergrad students. It stopped years ago and for very good reasons it is not going to happen any more
“Are you a grad student?”
“No I’m an assistant professor.”
“Oh! Im sorry, you just look so young!”
…it happened again!!

It was wonderful to see Suzanne Lacasse recognized in this way for here extraordinary contributions to the theory and application of Geotechnique! Bravo Suzanne!
Dr Suzanne Lacasse (#FCAE #OrderofCanada) received an honorary doctorate from @queensu this week. Her words to our graduates were inspirational and included the advice to learn many languages so you can build bridges across cultures. Seen here with @QueensPrincipal @ianatcv
Wonderful celebrating with Rob Cichocki his graduation from @queens_civil with his PhD this afternoon. He richly deserves this - with excellent contributions to analysis & testing of polymer liners in corrugated steel pipes. Now if I could learn how to wear my PhD hood:-)
On behalf of @CanadianGeotech I
congratulate you President Nikolaou and look forward to strong collaboration between our two organizations.
Congratulations to new Geo-Institute President Sissy Nikolaou of @NIST, whose term officially began Friday! Sissy will appear on Director's Cut THIS WEEK - get to know her better!
