I have officially received my PhD from McGill University, and can now identify myself as Dr. Vavrek, although I still keep on filling out forms and checking off the ‘Mr.’ box. Along with that, I’ve managed to get hired on at the Royal Ontario Museum as an Assistant Curator, though the contract is only for a year and a half. I’ll be at the ROM helping to set up a big new exhibit that’s set to open in the summer of 2012. Big things happening!
