Astrophysicist gets magnets stuck up nose while inventing coronavirus device

I’m really glad I went the nuclear physics path as this very well would have been me

That made me smile and I really needed to smile. Thank you!

Brilliant. Thank you - I needed to laugh :D

I laughed when I read this too. Just think of all the 'hospital discharge summaries that could have been written for other scientists - Isaac Newton: concussion from impact of falling object (apple); Archimedes: scalds to testicles from immersion in too-hot bath.

Henri Becquerel and probably many others when ionising radiation was discovered - self inflicted radiation burns caused by deliberately and repeatedly exposing oneself to radioactive items to see what would happen.

Early chemists used to taste many of the materials they were studying too so surely some must have suffered various degrees of poisoning.

Not to leave the artists out there out, this is what boredom is doing to artists

Crying with laughter at that. We often get odd at work with foreign bodies in their noses!

Kids at work.
