Steve Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 That's worth bragging about Cait - very impressive. I believe I voted for him recently too, so I'd like to claim some credit! 5 Quote

Beau Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I didn't see it but well done to him and you! 1 Quote
Sharky Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Had a power cut so didn't see this. I definitely think you have the right to brag, I certainly would. 1 Quote
Fredbear Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Wow that is pretty awesome, brag away. :) 1 Quote
HappyMaz Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 I wouldn't call it bragging exactly Cait but if ever there was a time for bragging, I'd say this is it! How brilliant! xx 1 Quote
Cait Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 He's just back from a conference in Texas, literally stepped off the plane and straight into the London one. Slightly jet-lagged but held it well. Next he's off to china for three months to work with the team there who are starting to try something similar in think, or have some technology which will help. 1 Quote
Rea Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Did you ever think when he was born that he would be travelling the world with an invention later on? Marvellous stuff Cait 1 Quote
Cait Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 Actually Rea, there always was something about him as a child. I can remember being called into class by the infant teacher when he had been in reception about a term or so. She wanted to show me a drawing he had done of an aerial view of the classroom! Always a loner, not interested in football etc, he was happiest building intricate models with Lego - he did an open university course on robotics when he was at secondary school, so we kind of had a feeling .........

Cait Posted June 30, 2015 Author Posted June 30, 2015 So, my wonderful, clever son got his Doctorate on Wednesday. A huge thank you to everyone who encouraged him along the way with his stem cell printer. He is doing very clever things with liver cells at the moment. 5 Quote
finleysmaid Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 how fantastic.....love the knees! I wish him all the best ...my father passed away from liver disease many years ago ...perhaps in the future this won't happen thanks to your son! :wub: 1 Quote
Panders Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Hey Wow Cait, that's absolutely brilliant. So pleased his hard work and ingenuity is paying off. Heard our youngest son got a 1st in his degree at Bournemouth last week. 3 Quote
Cait Posted June 30, 2015 Author Posted June 30, 2015 how fantastic.....love the knees! I wish him all the best ...my father passed away from liver disease many years ago ...perhaps in the future this won't happen thanks to your son! :wub: That's the plan. In the short term it means an end to animal testing and the start of patient specific medication. The kilt is worn a great deal - bought for his wedding three years ago, and gets several outings! Had to be specially made for his 27" waist and certainly had his money's worth out of it! 1 Quote
Sharky Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 I think you have the right to brag. Congratulations to you all. 1 Quote
Froglet Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Congratulations - great news! At the risk of sounding really dodgy I miss men in kilts. I did my degree in Edinburgh and I loved how smart they all looked at graduation but individual too. Besides a swirling kilt creates a much needed breeze at a ceilidh! And I miss those too!

SueJ Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Congratulations - well done on his fabulous achievements - love the piccie 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Just brilliant! :1b (Oh and many congrats to junior Panders - also brilliant!) :1b 2 Quote
