BACK. UP. NOW.

This is the kind of story that should be printed out and given to every grad student on the first day of school. It's the scary story that we tell to little academics around a campfire to give them nightmares.

"When Linda Cerniglia went back to school, it took her almost seven years to get through all the prerequisites, the labs, the research. And it took a thief just moments to grab her purse, with the only copy of her master's thesis stored on a tiny jump drive inside."

Happy ending, but still, people -- BACK IT UP.
