Last night was the BU premiere of The PHD Movie, a film based on the popular comic strip PHD Comics.
The event was attended by approximately 50 BU staff and students, plus a couple of local residents. Despite running out of popcorn early on, everyone had a good time and there was lots of laughter! This was a fantastic opportunity for our PGR students and supervisors to get together socially and have fun 🙂
We’re hoping to hold another screening of The PHD Movie one lunchtime in January – watch this space for further information!
You can always catch up with the latest comic strip from PHD Comics on the PG Research page of the BU Research Blog!
PHD Comics the Movie comes to BU!
