Honorary PhDs - your opinion

I was listening to the radio yesterday and Sara Cox was boasting about how, erm, the University of Bolton are awarding her an honorary doctorate for her services in promoting the town.

Do you think she deserves it? Or do you think (like I do) that this will do nothing to enhance the credibility of this fledging university if it is handing out what are essentially mickey mouse doctorates to minor celebs?

going to do my first conference presentation today.

Yes, say the slides out aloud as you practice rather than just reading them. It makes a huge difference!

Then I think you know the answer to your question.

Glad the people here have been helpful. Will you be sticking around as a regular?

Maria, in response to your point on religion, there have been some pretty hot debates on here in the past. Contrary to what you might think, some of the forum regulars have strong religious beliefs.
