In a remarkable scientific breakthrough researchers have discovered the lightest isotope of the rare and rapidly decaying element, astatine. The discovery of 190-Astatine was made by Master of Science graduate Henna Kokkonen as part of her thesis work, providing important insights into atomic nuclei
They did this without having an actual master’s degree. Marvelous work!
I’m pretty sure that discovering a new isotope while working on your MS guarantees that you’ll get the degree.
And a path to a full doctorate, lined with scales of mythical lizards with above average intelligence
and it is those mythical lizards with just above average intelligence that we need to fear.
