Chapter 404

I can't believe it's actually Charlene!

Dalton, Maureen, and Leah-none of them are Al majors, so they don't really grasp just how groundbreaking Charlene's paper is. But there's one thing they do know: Vesta's PhD advisor, Dr. Kevin Smith, is a huge name in the Al world. The kind of person who gets invited to keynote at MIT and whose opinion can make or break a research trend.

So when a world-class figure like Dr. Smith pays special attention to a paper- going so far as to personally tell Vesta to study its innovations carefully-you know it's a big deal. Plus, Professor Mack's doctoral student just said that Charlene's paper is causing a stir both in the US and abroad; top engineers in the industry have been staying up all night to read it.
