And my entire support system that I could not have done without (including all the people I could not show cause of the 4pics limit!) ❤️💜

[Kavya Krishnan @kavyakrishnan90]

Yesterday I defended my dissertation on the linkages between soil health, management and yield! 😎🎓 Couldn't have done any of this without the guidance of my brilliant committee @HMvanes, @prabhupingali and Andrew McDonald ❤️ Or the invaluable support & funding from @TataCornell

[Kavya Krishnan @kavyakrishnan90]

@HMvanes @prabhupingali @TataCornell I've spent 5 years interacting with an amazing group of folks- students, faculty, staff, people I met doing field work, at conferences and in classes. I also got to spend ~18 months in the field during my PhD and it was the most challenging and rewarding experience in my life

[Kavya Krishnan @kavyakrishnan90]

Thanks for all the wishes and love ❤️💜

[Kavya Krishnan @kavyakrishnan90]

Two more days till I have to defend 5 years of work 😬😬😬
I won't be doing a public presentation before my exam but for anyone curious about what I've been doing these many years - check out my departmental seminar from a few months back!

@DaveJamesKent Lol.. the levels have never meant anything. I remember all those moons ago (back at the beginning ) many of us asking what had to happen before we moved up a level and the administration was like - There are no criteria. There are all the criteria. The dreams will tell us when...

As confident as I am that I deserve to be here I am also very well aware that I wouldn't be here without a shitton of privilege!
