THE YOUNG AND PRODIGIOUS T.S. SPIVET( short 37/50 )

They are eating you up, they loved you.

In eighteen sixty-two a Frenchman named Guillaume Duchenne discovered the difference between fake and genuine smiles.In a fake smile, it's not just the zygomatic muscles work, the muscles around the eyes also contract unconsciously.Tonight it was entirely ocularzygomaticus.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome President of the Smithsonian, Dr. Leonard Sullivan.

Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen and thank you to our guest of honor.At a time when science is being challenged in every turn when we are witnessing a return to intellectual obscurity, I can not resist the temptation to quote Albert Einstein.He said ... "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity ...and, I'm not sure about the former.But I know a third example: human genius.Our guest of honor tonight is a magnificient example of this.I invite you to show him all the respect he deserves, despite his young years. Ladies and gentlemen, T.S. Spivet.
