Beckett interview was interesting. I wanted to find out more and found this interview as well. (Not a State Media interview so move if this is the wrong spot to post but thought it fit as a deeper dive) Graduated Stanford in 2 years. :0 Came to PSU without an invite and started training in summer. I believe he said he is in a PhD program although not sure if that is a PT program or something else.
