my thoughts exactly. what in hell could have bested THAT?

It's the Russian judge. They're always biased.

On the other hand, it sounded like his project didn't produce neutrons quickly enough to be used industrially. Someone else's project might have been immediately useful. Heck, maybe someone made something noone else had ever thought of trying, even at well-funded universities. I think this did as well as it did because it is looks cool and sounds exciting. Besides, the story of how it was put together was fascinating.
Thanks for the great article, hawkeye.

That is quite the science project for sure. Congrats to that kid from another USU grad.

Others thought it was cool, too. Wallace began winning contests — local, state, national — culminating in second place in the International Intel Science and Engineering Fair last May in Cleveland.

SECOND PLACE??? What the hell came in first?

Feel kind of guilty, my only high school accomplishment was getting into the Lead Cheerleaders pants.

Oh a mispent youth.
