A list of puns related to "Dr. rer. nat."
Such a great feeling. Defended yesterday. Parents flew in. So many non-science friends also came for the defence. Colleagues made me the best graduation hat, its so awesome!
I'm a Dr. rer. nat now! https://imgur.com/gallery/r7veE0T
I‘m looking for advice on whether or not your official title matters in the future. I was planning to start a Dr. rer. nat position in Germany, but am concerned about the transferable applications to the US or other international countries. Are PhD titles more valued and understood? Anyone have real world experience ?
*update: thank you for all your input!! It has been extremely helpful and calming for my nerves. I also asked my future advisor what his experience is since he has a Dr. rer. nat and worked in the US. He told me in Germany, it’s a higher honor than PhD but in other countries, it’s regarded the same. This is because there are more restrictions on who can award a Dr. rer nat and the structure of the thesis. So I’ll probably go for the Dr. rer. nat instead of PhD.
Hi, I am going to be doing a Ph.D.from a Max Planck Institute and I have been given a choice between getting these two titles from the affiliated university. I have been told that inside the academia, Dr. rer. nat. is considered a more broader and reputed degree but I would have to take a lot of academic courses to apply for it. Personally, I am not as interested in a job in academia and want to pursue a career in industry/research outside Germany. My questions are:
How would these degrees translate outside Germany? Would I be able to call myself a Ph.D and add a 'Dr' to my name?
Does the international world bother to distinguish between these two titles?
From the perspective of jobs, having which title is better?
Hi, I'm Dr Nizar Ibrahim, an anatomist, paleontologist, and National Geographic Explorer working on dinosaurs and other extinct creatures. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Bristol, and my PhD from University College Dublin's School of Medicine and Medical Science. When I was 4 or 5 years old I decided that I was going to become a paleontologist. I just love being a "time traveller", piecing together the awe-inspiring story of Life, and I also love sharing my passion for science and exploration - this includes speaking engagements and work on exhibits, documentary films, and books. My fieldwork has taken me to different parts of the world, and I get to work with people from a wide range of backgrounds (geologists, anatomists, artists etc.).
I also enjoy teaching - I have taught many different topics at university, including paleontology, human anatomy, comparative anatomy, and evolution. I have led several expeditions to Africa's Sahara Desert in search of mysterious lost worlds from the continent's "Age of Dinosaurs". We collected and described an amazing menagerie of creatures, including car-sized fish, crocodile-like predators, giant flying reptiles, plant-eating dinosaurs, and an incredible sail-backed, water-loving, predatory dinosaur, Spinosaurus. AMA! And check out more of my work in Nat Geo’s story from last October about Reimagining Dinosaurs.

EDIT: Thanks so much for your questions! I had a lot of fun, but gotta run now…
I would like to hear opinions about the 'Gran Priorato Rectificado de España', which practices the rectified scottish rite (RER), CBCS &tc. They have a Lodge near where I live and which still works the esoteric degrees of the inner order (after CBCS: Profess & Grand Profess) - those arent anymore practiced by the Lodges linked to UGLE here in Brazil. Since I come from an esoteric background (Martinism), I do care more about the quality of mystical and moral teaching, the seriousness and respect of the work performed, than about regularity and recognition issues and things like that.
Please, share your thoughts.

I can't believe how much time I wasted dicking around with EURN calls (though they're still printing) before I did some DD into NAT. I don't love DHT because they already contracted out a lot of their fleet for long-term storage, and at only moderately gouging prices. Need to learn more about TNK and FRO (though it looks like those entry points have become unattractive. Shame on me for missing them yesterday and this AM).
NAT (around $5) comes with a .14 dividend ex-5/22, which I'm going to consider a discount on the purchase price. If I were to hold it past May, that becomes a yield of 11-12% depending on entry point. NAT is announcing earnings on 5/18. This is expected to be the first quarter in a long time with solid earnings and cash flow, even though it's mostly before the massive tanker rental price increase. Analysts haven't touched their EPS estimates for the quarter, year, or 2021 yet at all. Debt exists, but is manageable and being paid down, and free cash flow is increasing bigly. They could probably use some free cash to retire more debt and will definitely return some to shareholders.
What's amazing is this is mostly the situation before the oil glut and coronavirus pandemic! Tanker rental rates have skyrocketed, which is going to megacharge earnings and free cash flow, for at least the next few months (is two quarters too much to ask for?). Tankers sheltering in place reduces expenses slightly as well. With lending rates so low and strong assets to back up the business (~1.3billion to about 400 mil in debt), I could definitely see new debt being issued to retire old debt at lower rates. I wouldn't be shocked to see an increase in dividend, as even in loss-making quarters NAT has shown an extreme dedication to returning value to investors through dividends.
There's going to be a lot of very, very good news coming for this company in the next month, both rearward- and forward-looking. They got their shit figured out just in time to take advantage of these incredible generational first time ever conditions (we've never seen oil in super contango like this, ever, in the history of oil). I easily see NAT trading up to their 8ish year highs in the mid-teens within the next few months. Yes, the hype might bring this stock into overweight territory and oil will eventually stabilize. That's the whole "sell high" part of the equation. It's tough to see a situation where I'm still holding this stock six or nine months from now, but it'
