Hi ladies,
I have a quick question for any of you pursuing a PhD and engaged or married during grad school. I am in a field where publication are everything, and life will become rather messy if I start publishing under my maiden name and then change names. Also, my BF alluded to legal issues with the title of "Doctor" being attached to one name, and it being a huge pain and a long process to change that if you get married after the fact. Does anyone have first hand experience with this? It could potentially really influence when we decide to get married...
