@tsarstepan,
Awesome!

I do love this:

“If you win the NCAA championship, you come to the White House. Well, if you’re a young person and you produce the best experiment or design, the best hardware or software, you ought to be recognized for that achievement too,” said the president last November.

@sozobe,
I definitely agree with that sentiment as well. Science and other academic risk takers should get their rightful acknowledgement as well much as collegiate and professional athletes.

I met these guys (the B - team, actually) in a luggage store in Berkeley, California. They were filming, we walked in and got to tell them that they were awesome. Cool people.
