Where’s the Debbie Downers to somehow spin this negatively?

Good for her. It’s nice to know that there are still smart, driven young people out there shaping our future.

Not the best headline. “Penn State Student Significantly Improves 100 Year Old equation, creates new standard in aerodynamic efficiency.” Calculus of variations, that kicked my ***. It’s fascinating but notoriously difficult. You better believe people have been working on this problem for a long time.

I first read it as being a 100 year old Penn Stater solved it and immediately thought that @LionJim was up to his old tricks again.

She should get free beers at Zeno’s for a semester!

Ivy pubes are overrated!

science? research? renewable energy? this isn't going to be popular in certain circles

This is what we’re up against.

Hope she doesn't go into the portal.

Some public ivy will snap her up

Aside from that, it’s money that could have gone to the stadium. For f*ck’s sake.

Is this going to kill me birds?

I saw this one. Matt Damon and Robin Williams were great in it.

This is old news. There was a thread about this 2 months ago:

PSU: “Student refines 100-year-old math problem, expanding wind energy possibilities”

I'm locking this thread.
