What is the imaginary title of your imaginary PhD?

[UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea]

Mine is "Teenagers and Coats: an ethnography of conflict"

Chapter headings include: "tweens: shifting the outerwear paradigm", "temperature: a social construct" and "the Oodie Paradox".

Inspired by DD's allergy to wearing coats in any weather while she complains of being cold in a toasty warm house.

Sheep. Why are there so many?

Effectiveness of hair products for curly hair: why does it only work for a few weeks? A systematic review and meta analysis.

Costing me a small fortune!

lol... I'm not witty enough for this

But Maybe I could write a popular self help book:
"Kittens: The survival Manual"

chapters to include
"Learn to love the cat shit in your garden"
"A qualitative analysis of meows"
"How to weave a bracelet out of shed cat hairs"
"Who needs carpets anyway?"

In fairness that's a Nobel prize winner right there.

I have a real PhD with a title that is v dull.

I wish it was -
Relaxing with a nice cup of tea and a good view - a three year optimisation.

Not bad @parietal but I think I'd be asking you very searching questions about biscuits in the viva.

Love it @UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea and your user name 🤣

@UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea - I can do a detailed comparison of chocolate digestives versus ginger nuts with a separate chapter on why my child lives on penguin biscuits.

The lone chin hair: a meta analysis charting its exponential growth in relation to the menstrual cycle of women in their 30s.

I'd go even more niche with my

A Comparative Study of the Relationship Between a Tween's Experiences in 9 Hour School Days and Their Subsequent Communication of Information to Guardians.

Chapters to cover

Correlation of significant daily events during school hours and their tween translations to "Good", "I said good" and, "Fine."

The substantive differences between, "Good" and "good" based on tonal modulation. An exploration of differential parental responses and their efficacy in engendering the volunteering of additional information pertinent to such seagull educational outcomes.

Successful! The seagulls are a niche too far!

I'd want two, two different areas of research so still novel.

Title: The pink cup - why does it fall from favour at the most random times?

Title: The Stair Method - is this method working or is it best just to take items up yourself as they'll be ignored by everyone else in the household.

Very important area of study @Shannith but when they get to teens you'll look back on those conversations as the golden years

@parietal chocolate digestive wins approval. Except now all I can think about is biscuits...

Re: dishwashers. I once knew a man who put everything on TOP of the dishwasher (on worktop) as he only liked to open it once a day so the hinge didn’t wear out. Spoiler: 2 wives divorced him.
