Melody - Let it be - The Beatles
It was sung during the reception of my PhD Defence at Wageningen University on 17th May 2019.
First, you started in Rwanda
Then to France and Italy
Going to Alberta, finally
And after finishing your masters
At this distance from your family
On to Rome to do your PhD
PhD, PhD,
Nitrogen efficiency
Aiming for improvement, NUE
Then you found yourself in GLEAM
Analyses and measurements
Always making conversations, amiably
And with the nearing deadlines
That were standing right in front of you
Smiling till the finish, constantly
PhD, PhD,
Nitrogen efficiency
Aiming for improvement, NUE
See the thesis in your hands
It was defended thoroughly,
You are now a doctor, PhD.
Enjoy with friends and family
And hope your work will change some policy
Family, family,
Joselyn and Dylan,
Aimable, you embrace them, tenderly.
Thank you Aarts, and all colleagues from Animal Production Systems Group at Wageningen University for the beautiful and sensational song. It made my PhD defence a memorable day. My gratitude to my PhD supervisors, Imke, Pierre and Rogier for their guidance and tremendous support in the past six years. Thanks to my family and friends for making this day joyful and awesome.
