    Apart from the results of his research, what is impressive is that he managed to deliver a PhD presentation in a way that caters to the "average joe". Some presentations consist of so many technical jargons that audience lose interest.

    • @caio_c2

Is this just a part of the defense showing that the material can be taught in a contemporary classroom?
