My oldest son, who is a PhD grad student in astrophysics, just got his first paper published. It's far above my level of understanding, but if there are any astrophysicists or even physicists on the board who want to give it a shot, I'd be happy to forward a link. Very happy for him. He worked hard to get where he is.

CONGRATS! My wife had her senior thesis published. It was a huge achievement for her. I have her publication on my trophy cabinet. She likes seeing it near my prized baseball items.

That’s a huge deal. To make the finals at worlds in of itself is a HUGE accomplishment. Very cool and thanks for sharing!

He's having a year he'll never forget. He wasn't allowed to enter a professional race in LA in May because the organizer thought he wouldn't be competitive. He was listed as an alternate and eventually won the race. Then he won the NCAA steeplechase championship. Then he won the US Championship. And now here he is in Budapest. I couldn't be happier for him! And I think he recently got engaged, but I can't confirm that. But the girl had a ring on her finger.
