The year of the Ghost Ant

I turned 27 today. That means I've now spent four years in the doctoral programme and am exactly 365 days away from professional disgrace and having my credentials quietly revoked in a humiliating end-of-cycle formality they call 'declassification'. It's not a euphemism. If I don't find a new insect species by this time next year, I don't get a PhD. I get a polite ejection from the Galactic Consortium of Insect Scientists (GCIS) and maybe a commemorative keychain.
