Need to find those emails though... Anyway, take it easy! Well done Jean!! :)

That's where I've been going wrong... ;-) Of course, congratulations. I know it must feel fantastic as I have been in the final stages of boring mind-numbing corrections since forever... Good luck in the postdoc.. I look forward to hearing about the exciting new research work you are looking to undertake... So you SUBMIT the thesis..??!?
