Scandal at ICBP
So this isn’t strictly physics news, but it’s too good not to post! As I was listening to a vaguely uninteresting talk this afternoon, I got startled by a roar behind me. Was it bears?! Wolves?! Nope! It was a famous physicist (at least within biophysics, who shall remain nameless!) with his head slumped on the desk, snoring. It kind of came in cycles, and by the third time around myself and the girl beside me were nearly in hysterics and I was trying desperately not to guffaw outloud and ruin the talk. Fortunately, at that point the speaker finished and the applause woke up the sleeping physicist.
One can only hope that the speaker remained blissfully unaware…
