And he got a standing ovation.

Oh, good for him.

It's awesome.

It's one of the few times I've heard someone doing that.

And I think it's dope.

I think we need to encourage people to concede that.

I mean, part of the journey of being a scientist is knowing what your own biases are.

And I remember one of my threads in my career has been trying to look for exomoons, moons around these exoplanets, which would be a first if we got them.

So it's a big deal.

You know if I succeed at this.

There could be like, you know, golden prizes, award ceremonies.

Like, you kind of get that glimmer in your eye, like, oh, man, I could be memorialized for this success.

And so that's alluring, right?

It's kind of the same temptation as fame.

And I remember once we had this signal.

It was Kepler 90, no, PHTB was the name of the planet.

And we had this signal, and it kind of looked like just what we expect for an exomoon.

And I remember I was so excited.

I was at Harvard at the time.

I had to walk out of the building.
