My son is giving his second scientific conference talk as first author.

He's a 2nd year graduate student.

His first talk, a month ago was well received apparently.

This one is on additive manufacture of radiation resistant alloys.

That little brat is sure showing up his old man.

I couldn't possibly be happier or prouder.

Wow. I am impressed.

You should be very proud.

When he gets his degree, he is going to have an impressive resume.
