I am now officially a graduate!
I’ve done it.
It’s over.
I am finally (legitimately) Kevin Hill: Science Master.
If you had any doubts about how happy I am to see the back of academia (studying, not my job obviously) then check out this image of me after the ceremony a few weeks ago…

This is not the face of a man about to embark on further study.
Dr. Hill? No thanks.

This news, and your joyful leap, are both extremely welcome.
Question: if you’re not planning to become Dr Hill, can I be Dr Hill?
Does that mean that your name is going spare?
I could be Christopher Marshall, BBC man at arms!
No, I’m definitely keeping my name, I just want to be Dr Hill as well. I’m expanding my brand portfolio.
You can’t be two people unless you have some kind of crazy alter ego who’s been secretly planning to take over the world for a very long… wait a minute!
No, you don’t understand. I won’t be two people. I’ll be me, with two names. A thing can have two names.
You’re a you? With two names? What if the two of you want to have a conversation, are you going to stand in the middle of the street chatting to yourself?
Look, if you can simultaneously be Ian, Dave and Bruntingthorpe, I can be both Chris and Dr. Hill.
Or are you saying that you sometimes stand in the middle of the street having a conversation between Enid Blyton and Guyverpop?
