.

1. A charged-particle VETO wall is only a useful addition to a neutron detector when the rest of the experimental setup is surrounded by air. 2. Experimental verification of thermal simulation results is a vital

com-ponent of designing industrial equipment.

3. Geometry and target parameters should always be distributed among the participants of a nuclear physics experiment before the start of that experiment.

4. The measurement of absolute cross sections greatly benefits from the presence of a known state to provide the overall normalization.

5. The total measurement errors of cross sections are determined by √n and by the meticulousness of the researcher.

6. All guidelines about writing a good thesis are subjective.

7. Professors should be granted some flexibility in applying the rules for correcting exams, as long as this does not compromise the level of the course.

8. Whether a plot should have a logarithmic scale or a linear one is a matter of personal preference.

9. Writing a PhD thesis requires basic skills in various image editing com-puter programs.

10. Using your PhD degree to design the fictional science in your wife’s fantasy novel is a powerful method to communicate nuclear and particle physics to a broad audience.
