I read this comment last night and thought.... you know what?  That's an excellent idea.  Along with my grandfather, Dad, Mom and wife, I thanked all 3000 of you.  I'm not sure it was recorded but I said something like this.  "There's a group of 3,000 people who go out of their way to donate to make Smarter Every Day possible.  They let me take trips to things like awards ceremonies.... of which this is the first one ever.  Anyways, I really want to thank people who donate to Smarter Every Day at Patreon.com"  

It felt right. I was really nervous.

Regards,

Destin

What, my name has been uttered on a stage in front of an audience? Now I'm blushing D:

Aaron Zavala

Thank you for acknowledging us! The award was much deserved. It makes me glad to see how He has honored your hard work!

SERIOUSLY I was more nervous doing this than meeting the president. A room full of space GIANTS and here I am getting an award about my videos. I sounded nervous didn't I? I was sitting next to Dr. Mather (head of the JWST) and when I sat down afterwards I said "I was nervous". He said "that's normal, you did great". After the ceremony I asked him to explain what it was like to SPEAK WHEN YOU GET THE NOBEL PRIZE. Can you even imagine?

Pierre Nadeau

No take-backs Pierre. Several Astronauts and at least one Nobel Laureate heard me talk about you.

Jessie Shoshone

Good stuff Sir, keep the great content coming.

It's nice that you'd thank your supporters :) Stay curious!

Thank you. My wife and I, as engineers, are inspired by you to continue pursuing knowledge and truth and passing on such things.

Meaning I actually have direct PR access to these individuals for my *great achievement* (that is, Smarter Everyday). Thank me!
