Congrats to Austin!

After my trip to Europe in August, I brought Austin home some really nice whiskey from the Isle of Islay in Scotland as a souvenir. After a few weeks of the bottle sitting around, I asked when he wanted to try some and he said not until after his first paper was accepted.

Well, last night with dinner Austin brought out the bottle and a glass and shared the good news with me-he got his first first-author journal paper accepted :D Such a great accomplishment for grad school and I was very excited to hear the good news-and to try a sip of the whiskey ;)

Congrats to Austin and good luck with the last semester of grad school :)
