Patrick, Let me be the first to say congratulations! I am very happy for you to receive such a prestigious award, and I believe it is truly deserved. Way to go Patrick! Now for the really big question; are you going to shake the hand of the person presenting you the medal, or a fist bump? Inquiring minds wanna know!

Looking at the list of previous recipients I see names like Sagan, Heinlein and Roddenberry. Many of you on this list who know me know I have a pretty big ego but <taking deep breath> this is a very humbling experience.
