Scientist Of The Year

by tristero

Congratulations to Matthew Berger for his extraordinary discovery of a new hominid species, australopithecus sediba. Since Berger was 9 years old when he found the fossil – he’s 11 now – some will think he was just a lucky kid. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am quite serious: This represents the work of a preternaturally gifted scientist who, if he continues his career, has even greater discoveries before him.

Great job, Matthew!
