your PhD probably gives you the wherewithal to do the cool things now or after a few years of work ...

I mean, sure, it does, but I could have had a PhD in folding pieces of paper!

They also looked at using Origami with the Kirigami to see if they could pack the parachute in novel ways (according to the Nature video)

I mean, you could have BOTH!
