He was a 19-year-old 4th-year neuroscience Ph.D. candidate at Stanford University (Andrew Hsu)

Does that mean he'd get his PhD as a 19 or 20 year old? That sounds like a record to me. That's crazy, in a good way.



Definitely not a record.

I remember a professor at Princeton who got his first PhD at 17, but he was bored, so he got his second at 19. One was in physics, the other in mathematics, but I don't remember the order.
