"The day of the GW151226 press conference, I got phone calls from someone at Syracuse who wanted to set up interviews for me in my hometown. I gave interviews to three local news channels and ended up on TV. At one of the interviews I watched part of the press conference while being recorded and the biggest smile appeared on my face when I saw the plot I made show up in the press conference."
