In high school, grandpa brought me a copy of his wonderfully entertaining study on pet rocks. I remember bringing it to my biology class to show off to all my friends... I used to think it was simply neat to have been published, but now, having written many lab reports, I realize something new. He took something rather mundane and gave it joy. He took something otherwise simple and made it funny and entertaining... And that's something he did all the time. Even through a science journal he was able to make people smile :)
