Jorge Cham public lecture
Jorge Cham, author of the "Piled Higher and Deeper" (PHD) comics, will give a talk on Wednesday 14 May.
The lecture, entitled "The Power of Procastination: Surviving Graduate School and Deciding What's Next", will be held at Lecture Theatre 1 in Appleton Tower at 5pm.
In this talk, Cham recounts his experiences bringing humour into the lives of stressed out academics, examines the source of their anxieties and explores the guilt, the myth, and the power of procrastination.
The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception and book signing, to be held on Appleton Tower concourse.
