Worst PhD defense ever.

Ғылым және технология

Don't fret, your defense will not go this badly.
(The source of the video is U.S. District nominee Matthew S. Petersen's confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, on December 13, 2017. Petersen withdrew his nomination on December 16, 2017.)

    This defense is absolutely a disaster. He was even not sure about the data....what a joke.

    It's a parody, for those that didn't realize they changed the words from the actual dialog to the text.

    I’m literally an undergraduate researcher and this still terrifies me. I cannot imagine being in his position, I’d crumble for sure so his responses are much more tamer than most. However, at the same time, why on earth was he this unprepared?😭
