Brian May, PhD

Posted by Frank Koehntopp as Blogging

Welcome back!

Seems like for some people, it’s never too late to go back to college:

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Brian May, the lead guitarist from rock band Queen, is close to earning his doctorate in astrophysics — more than 35 years after quitting his studies to become a rock star.

May arrived on the island of La Palma in Spain’s Canary Islands several days ago to conduct astronomical observations in support of his thesis, according to a statement by the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands.

His thesis, “Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud,” is the last component of his PhD studies, and May expected to complete his work on Wednesday.”

Congrats, Brian – you’re still the guitar hero of my teenage years.
