Congratulations!

*scene from the zombie apocalypse*

Government Official 1: We need advice on how to deal with the zombies when they're crossing international borders. Should we ask Dan Drezner?

Government Official 2: Hmm, isn't he just some professor?

GO1: He's actually a Distinguished Professor.

GO2: Oooh. OK, send the a jet and a squad of Navy SEALS. Make sure he gets to Cheyenne Mountain.

Mazel tov! The lack of robust punctuation in that announcement paragraph made it seem on first glance that you'd been awarded a named chair of Nutrition Science, which would have really been distinguished.

Congratulations!

Just out of curiosity, when you retire or become emeritus, do they change the "DIS" to "EX"?

You forgot to write "Dr." as one of his esteemed titles before the last name. Like the Germans say, Herr Professor Dr. XYZ. We had a German CEO (last name started with R) with a PhD who had received an honorary Professor title... we used to jokingly refer to him as "HPDR"

Don't go easy on those students Dr. Drezner. My best professors kicked me in my know it all pants : )

Congratulations! I am sure Drezner’s World put you over the top in the decision making—such a “distinguished” publication. I got a few feel good, not remunerated distinguished awards during my military career—you are right about them.
