Postdoctoral Fellow in Beer Studies

In summary, a physicist has been appointed as a Beer Studies Fellow in a college, causing amusement among students. The article was posted on April Fool's Day and has sparked a discussion about the possibility of using this as a promotion for majoring in physics. Some joke that the physicist's nickname may be "student-t".

This sounds like a college student wet dream.

A physicist has been appointed as a http://media.www.lawrentian.com/media/storage/paper409/news/2007/04/01/Erotica/Marler.To.Become.First.Beer.Studies.Fellow-2828558.shtml" . The news article is actually pretty hilarious!

Now that might explain why I have such an affinity for freshly-baked bread and why I learned how to bake bread myself while I was preparing for my oral exam.

Before you fall off your chair, look at the posted date of this "news" article. I am so hoping that this was a joke, for their sake.

I think if we can use this as a promotion, we'd have a flood of people who'd want to major in physics.

Of course, at least half of them would be in a constant state of drunken stupor...
