Luckily you have a couple hard copies of your journal paper and an inked up copy of your thesis after reviewer number 2 decided to no longer like his own suggestions on how to graph computation time results.

You start passing down your papers to your uncle, dad, mom, and a couple of your siblings who all take a couple minutes to flip around the pages look at the figures, read the abstract and flip through dozens of pages of proofs in the appendix before handing it back.

“I don’t know what any of these symbols mean” your sister responds.

“It looks all very formal and well written” your mom comments.

“Hmmmm, interesting, interesting, have you thought about applying this into a crypto algorithm,” Uncle Robert said.

The paper seemed to not be doing much either, what do you do?
