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.)

Worst nightmare PhD students usually have at night.
This defense is absolutely a disaster. He was even not sure about the data....what a joke.
In all honesty, responses from this Petersen guy are brilliant answers if you really don't know how to answer something
It's a parody, for those that didn't realize they changed the words from the actual dialog to the text.

Thanks for that I didn’t notice as I was too busy syphoning the liquid remains of my brain back into my skull as I was watching this video.
This only works if the audio is in another language :c

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?😭
How are the people in the background keeping a straight face? 😂😂
Not sure what I just watched, but it was highly uncomfortable.
What a lesson. Failed to cite original resource generates confusion to the audience and downplayed your own novelty.
I have my defense in two days and this just gave me major anxiety, so... good job on summarizing my worst fears in a video, I guess. 😅

Hey, it's me in my last year of my physics bachelor's! I couldn't understand my mandatory research project at all. I didn't even do a talk on it. Just took my B and left.
Wow, how clever! I would like to exchange ideas with you... really interesting.
Is this really a PhD thesis defense? Looks more like a courtroom
