Bolyard made the discovery in March, after he already had studied more than 2,000 data plots from the GBT and found nothing.
“I was home on a weekend and had nothing to do, so I decided to look at some more plots from the GBT,” he said. “I saw a plot with a pulse, but there was a lot of radio interference, too. The pulse almost got dismissed as interference,” he added.

His little discovery is like the study that discovered pluto. Except he did not get paid as far as I know. Sounds like they must have had an ass load of data to be sifted through and saw a pr opportunity. I dont think he has any special skills in astronomy or a special eye for detail. He was home and bored and was just lucky that he found something. He should have been studying so he could make a real discovery. .

My brother went to WVU, and those stereotypes have been the bane of their existence since God knows when. They will lose their goddamn minds if people say stuff like that up there!

that is just the thing that our schools need, enthusiasm. i wished i had good teachers, maybe i wouldn't have become criminal. the best thing for this country is good teachers. the best thing you can do is teach with love and passion, we have an inherent duty to guide youth.
the youth today will be responsible to solve tomorrows problems. - 2 years ago

the video does sort of drip into the area of "oh, look at our pretty collaboratory" after a bit, you're right.
i thought the article was the interesting bit. should i change the media to a picture?
