It wouldn't take so long if I didn't need to find a journal article to back up everything I wanna say all the time. Some of the genes I'm working on were discovered in the 80s and have had their names changed like 4 times. So it's hard to keep track of them through all the papers as everyone refers to them as something different. xD Silly scientists.
Instead of a thesis, we had a large group project that had to be presented before a review panel. It actually wasn't bad considering there were so, so many group projects before that and by then, I had gotten so used to them that it was pretty much a breeze.

I'd way rather do that than do a thesis or defend a dissertation, even though group projects have their own no-so-fun challenges. At least by the time you get to grad school, most people care enough about their education that they don't screw around, loaf off, and expect the rest of the group to carry them. And if you rock Powerpoint, group projects are easy cheese.
